The White Angel is one of the most recognisable frescoes of Serbian medieval painting - created in the Mileševa monastery in the first half of the thirteenth century. The angel in a white robe sits on a stone beside the open, empty tomb of Christ and gestures toward it, announcing to the Myrrh-bearing Women: "He is risen, He is not here." His gaze is calm and unwavering, and the entire composition speaks of the stillness after the greatest event in history. It is precisely that tranquillity which makes this icon special - it is not triumphant, but deeply serene.
This icon is also a cultural symbol - a facsimile of the White Angel was sent into space in 1963 as a message to space astronauts. On the icon the characteristics of the fresco are clearly visible: a blue-grey background, white robe, dark wings and the architecture of the tomb behind the angel.
