A strange subject to write about maybe, but on all old paintings of religious depiction, there is always a halo on angelic figures.
What does the halo mean?. We see angels with it, the sacred ring of light. It is seen as spiritual and resonates heaven, and spirit?
Do you see it as a symbol of one continuous ongoing life/ energy?
Is in paintings, it is depicting a higher force, something to be illuminated, to be noticed, or that is linked to something higher?
I wonder how the painter saw it as? Way back in the very earliest painting of it?

The painter was painting the aura, IMO. The brighter the aura, the holier the person. Obviously a gold aura is considered to be very good. That's my understanding of it.

I agree, I think it's the aura they're seeing & painting. |

I'm not as dumb as I look.
I wasn't born yesterday.
Can't think of any other cliches right now!
