This is a favourite of mine, painted by William Blake a few hundred years ago. It's called The Whirlwind: Ezekiel's Vision of the Cherubim and Eyed Wheels, based on a passage in the book of Ezekiel, Chapter 1:
"15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel on the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 16 The appearance of the wheels and their work was like to the color of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they went, they went on their four sides: and they turned not when they went."
