This detail from Benozzo Gozzoli's "Saint Ursula with Angels and Donor" (c. 1455) depicts an angel holding a banner. The angel's wings are painted in a striking red, contrasting with the green of his robe. The banner itself is a dark blue and black, with a gold trim. This detail is typical of Gozzoli's style, known for its intricate details and vibrant colors. The angel's halo is inscribed with the word "Angelus", highlighting the divine nature of the subject. The inscription around the halo indicates that the painting was meant to be appreciated by a devotional audience.
