Cherub - Ezekiel's Vision Painting

This piece is a Biblically accurate angel -- specifically, a cherub. The image was inspired by Ezekiel I, where Ezekiel experiences a vision of God and what rabbinical scholars believe to be cherubim and seraphim. The cherubim are described as having four faces -- one of a lion on the right, one of an ox on the left, and one of a human and one of an eagle (positions unspecified) -- as well as two wings facing up, two facing down, covering their body, human hands beneath each wing, and feet "like those of a calf". Ezekiel says the cherubim look "like burning coals of fire or like torches" and that their feet "gleam like burnished bronze." I got interested in painting a Biblically accurate angel after starting my Paradise Lost series, which illustrates the angels and demons of John Milton's epic 17th-century poem. As you can see, the Biblical description is significantly different from how Milton and popular imagination tend to depict angels.
