The article presents the diagnosis of contemporary systematic angelology. The author indicates the relations between the development of theological reflection and its signs in words and images. The author treats the Enlightenment as a division line, since it was the time when the crisis of speculative angelology was finally sealed. Contemporary representations of angels are conditioned by marginalisation, epistemological agnosticism, conventionalism and practical atheism. The author discusses these problems using selected examples of the visual arts objects and literary works.
