Archangel Gabriel by Leonardo da Vinci Renaissance Wall Hanging
From a painting of Leonardo Da Vinci
Gabriel means God is my strength. Gabriel is the Angel of annunciation, resurrection, mercy, vengeance, death and revelation. Gabriel is the ruler of heaven and ruler of the Cherubim. Gabriel is said to sit on the left hand side of God. Mohammed claimed it was Gabriel who dictated to him the Koran. In Jewish legend it was Gabriel who dealt death and destruction to Sodom and Gommorah. Gabriel appeared to Daniel to tell him of the coming of a Messiah: a message which later he repeats to Mary in the annunciation. Earlier he had announced to Zacharias the coming of John the Baptist.
The Archangel Gabriel by Leonardo da Vinci Renaissance Wall Hanging is made from museum resin, in an antique finish, and measures 7"H x 6"W. A-029S, $29

Rape of Sabines by da Bologna
The drama in art is captured for all time.

Adding 16th-century flair, Da Bologna portrays the figures with a new dynamism by spiraling them around a central axis and counterbalancing the woman outstretched with the men who pull her back.
