Mysterious six-winged Angel from the Hagia Sophia re-colored. There are four of the Seraphim Angels surrounding the dome. This one is my favorite one because it looks like a dancing or whirling Angel to me.
I re-colored the wings to be more red and blue because I suspect that centuries of water damage corroded the minerals.
This is some Photoshop magic. I started with an incomplete six-winged Angel and made it whole to be able to see all six wings. The original painting is in a museum in Moscow.
I really liked these carvings of Seraphim Angels in Moscow inside a small church on the Red Square.
There were in fact two carvings, but I did not get a good photo of the second one, so I just mirrored the same Angel to recreate the dynamic of two.
This one stood out to me in a museum in Moscow.
This is zoomed into a corner of a large painting I admired in a museum in Moscow.
I have seen it many times that four Seraphim Angels surround the dome inside Orthodox Churches.
This is an example from inside the Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow.
