Glory of Angels n.d.

"Glory of Angels" is a drawing by Giovanni Battista Beinaschi, an Italian artist known for his Baroque style. The work depicts a scene of heavenly figures, likely angels, amidst clouds. The use of pen and brown ink on paper creates a delicate and detailed composition. Beinaschi's masterful rendering of the angels' forms and the dynamic energy of their movements is evident in this preparatory drawing for a larger painting. Beinaschi's works often feature themes of faith and spirituality, and this drawing exemplifies his skill in capturing both the divine and the human in a single composition. The piece can be viewed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
