Jews only: Paintings of Abraham, Moses, Josef, Isak, Angels

[Starlight]

Question to jews on this forum. Is paintings of Abraham, Moses, Josef, Isak or Angels allowed in judaism?

I know of one place in the Torah where angels statues was allowed:

1 Kings 6:23-28

23 For the inner sanctuary he made a pair of cherubim out of olive wood, each ten cubits high. 24 One wing of the first cherub was five cubits long, and the other wing five cubits—ten cubits from wing tip to wing tip. 25 The second cherub also measured ten cubits, for the two cherubim were identical in size and shape. 26 The height of each cherub was ten cubits. 27 He placed the cherubim inside the innermost room of the temple, with their wings spread out. The wing of one cherub touched one wall, while the wing of the other touched the other wall, and their wings touched each other in the middle of the room. 28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

Judaism does not forbid artistic renditions of people. I know plenty of synagogues that i.e. paintings of the Exodus.
