“When the story was written, angels were not imagined to have wings, which were a later convention, taken from the Roman ‘Winged Victory.’”

Marc Chagall - "The Green Night"
Pieter Bruegel the Elder - "Adoration of the Magi in the Snow" (1563)
Jacques-Louis David - "The Oath of the Horatii" (1784)
“…David also represents, in the bottom right corner, a woman crying while sitting down. She is Camilla, a sister of the Horatii brothers, who is also betrothed to one of the Curiatii fighters, and thus she weeps in the realisation that, whatever happens, she will lose someone she loves.”
Marc Chagall - "Candles in the Dark Street" (1908)
When Chagall was leaving his hometown to try to get to Paris to be a painter he wrote:
“Vitebsk, I am leaving you.
Stay alone with your herrings."
