Led Zeppelin's connection to the painting started when the band's manager, Peter Grant, spotted a replica of the artwork hanging on the wall of a London shop. Grant purchased it and incorporated the angel's image into Led Zeppelin's early promotional material, including the cover of their debut album in 1969.
The representation of an angel, depicted in a pose of contemplation and with a sense of mystery, appealed to the band members and resonated with their musical style, which was often characterized by its epic and mystical elements.
Over time, the angel became an iconic symbol associated with Led Zeppelin, and its presence on their album covers and merchandise contributed to the band's unique visual identity.
