As in life, it’s not just angels and roses. This detail from Signorelli’s “Last Judgment” clearly depicts the presence of demons. Artists of that period depicted them with bat-like wings, a far cry from the feathery wings of good angels. This painting resides in Florence at Scala.

This is the usual convention for painting angels since no one has ever seen them we assume they look like this and usually wear robes. In 1459, Benozzo Gozzoli painted this for the chapel of the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi in Florence.
