Case in point, I give you \\\"Angel of Death\\\" by Evelyn De Morgan, a classical depiction of Azrael, the Archangel of death from some extrabiblical traditions. He has strong ties with God as his name implies, it literally means Whom God Helps, and in biblical tradition we are to believe that \\\'\\\'God Is Good\\\'\\\'.
