Angel with a Banderole 1555 - 1629

"Angel with a Banderole" is a drawing by Italian Baroque artist Camillo Procaccini, created between 1555 and 1629. The drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts a winged angel gracefully descending on a cloud. The angel holds a long, flowing band, known as a banderole, which he appears to be unfurling, creating a dynamic sense of movement. Procaccini’s drawing demonstrates his masterful ability to capture the delicate form and ethereal presence of a celestial being.
