Analyzing artists' representations of angels and demons and heaven and hell from the Judeo-Christian tradition, this volume describes how they evolved over time. Divided into chapters, it looks at these images, and how they came to be portrayed with the physical attributes - wings, halos, horns, and cloven hooves.
