Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Raguel the Watcher of Angels

This illustration is a first study for the archangel Raguel in a project I have in the works called "The Archangels and the Fallen Ones" which is inspired by Gustave DorĂ©'s illustrated novel of John Milton's, Paradise Lost

Raguelwhich means "friend of God" is one of the Seven Archangels as listed in the ancient Enoch writings.  Raguel is know to "take vengeance on the world of luminaries" or he is the one who watches over the good behavior of the angels.
