Renaissance Angel by Master of the Bambino Vispo

Isaiah with Two Angels (detail) (c. 1410) by artist Master of the Bambino Vispo; Gherardo di Jacopo Starnina (c. 1364-1413) is a vintage Renaissance Era fine art religious portrait painting. One of the angels on either side of Isaiah. Isaiah was a prophet in the 8th-century BC Kingdom of Judah. Jews and Christians consider the Book of Isaiah a part of their Biblical canon; he is the first listed (although not the earliest) of the neviim akharonim, the later prophets. Christians believe that Isaiah prophesied the virgin birth of Jesus Christ (Isaiah 7:14, King James version): "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."
