A winged angel balancing a cornucopia spilling over with flowers and fruit is a motif with a long pedigree in European art, where the horn of plenty carried associations with abundance, harvest and divine generosity. Angels in this role often served as decorative figures on ceiling paintings, altarpieces or garden ornaments, where their bounty symbolized blessing as much as religious devotion. Artists drew on classical sources, since the cornucopia belonged to Roman imagery of Fortuna and Ceres, and Renaissance and Baroque painters merged those pagan emblems with Christian themes. Look closely at the lush, carefully observed blossoms and fruit, which show how much attention artists gave to botanical detail.
