The present study analyzes the influence of religious elements on the representation of the role of angels in coffeehouse paintings and contemporary Iranian painting. The necessity of addressing this issue stems from the importance of symbolism as one of the most effective means of conveying meaning, which has always been of interest to Islamic artists. In the common practice of Islamic societies, angels are imaginary beings that have been represented in various ways in the literature, legends, and national and religious stories of the people of these societies. Therefore, images and paintings of angels contain codes and implications that represent the ways in which people think about celestial beings at different times. The present study aims to study the different types of images of angels in coffeehouse paintings and in contemporary Iranian painting using the qualitative content analysis method. The field of study includes coffeehouse paintings from the Qajar and early Pahlavi periods in museums, as well as contemporary paintings that depict the role of an angel. The selection of these works was based on three criteria: “the explicit or symbolic presence of the angel in the work”, “the originality of the work”, and “the diversity of time and place to cover historical and cultural changes”. The results of the study show that, in appearance, Islamic angels have a human-like, realistic appearance with common characteristics, but the artist, except in certain periods, did not assign gender to them. In this respect, angels are represented in a sacred aura. Angels show a view of the inside of man and help man in his struggle with his own soul. In some works, angels in the role of angels of justice are mostly depicted with closed eyes and swords in hand, and are always fighting the forces of evil, but in some works they are also depicted as young women. The results also indicate that despite the sanctity of angels and their place in all religions, the representation of the role of angels in the Islamic worldview has changed in accordance with the prevailing atmosphere and artistic approaches of each period, and gradually the sacred aspect of angels has faded and their material and human aspects have become prominent.
