A beautiful detail from Felix Lietuchter’s amazing paintings at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Wheeling, West Virginia. The lamb standing as though slain rests upon the book with seven seals and the Holy Spirit below. He pours out His blood for the world, caught in a golden cup by one angel on the right, yet poured out to the world by the other.

Pretty standard pre-Vatican II iconography. But well executed! I like adult masculine-looking images of angels.
Great artwork.
