"The Angel with the Flaming Sword" is a notable mural by the American artist Edwin Howland Blashfield, created in 1893. Blashfield, renowned for his work as a muralist during the American Renaissance, was a prominent figure in the art world during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular work is significant for its representation of themes of justice and guardianship, as well as its technical mastery and aesthetic appeal.

The mural depicts an angel wielding a flaming sword, a symbol often associated with divine judgment and the protection of sacred spaces. The angel is typically portrayed as a guardian figure, standing at the gates of Eden to prevent the return of humankind after the Fall, as described in the Book of Genesis. In Blashfield's rendition, the angel is a powerful and dynamic figure, embodying both the wrath and mercy of divine authority.

"The Angel with the Flaming Sword" is executed in Blashfield's characteristic style, which combines classical influences with a Beaux-Arts sensibility. His work is known for its grandeur, attention to detail, and use of allegorical figures to convey moral and civic virtues. The mural is an example of the type of public art that was commissioned during the period to adorn civic buildings, courthouses, and other public spaces, reflecting a belief in the edifying power of art.

While the exact location and current status of "The Angel with the Flaming Sword" may require further research, the work remains an important part of Blashfield's oeuvre and a testament to the artist's skill and the cultural values of the era in which it was created. It continues to be studied by art historians and appreciated by admirers of American mural painting for its historical significance and artistic merit.
