Music-Making Angels

Drawn in 1521 by the German master Albrecht Dürer, Music-Making Angels is a classic study from the height of the Northern Renaissance. The original monochrome drawing, held in the collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures two celestial figures in profile. Their serene focus on their instruments, a lute and a viol, exemplifies the masterful line and form of the era.
