Chubby faced children with the ubiquitous wings are the usual representation of cherubs. In Christianity, they are angels of the eight highest orders in the hierarchy of angels. They are thought to be the messenger of God, defining the link between heaven and humanity.
It seems that people have always been interested in angels as well as quite curious about them. References to angels are peppered throughout many religious writings, and they’ve been a favorite subject for many of history’s greatest artists. Just look at Botticelli’s famous works to see angels rendered at their finest.
