EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pre-Raphaelite print depicts an ethereal angel, its wings outstretched in a divine embrace, radiating the peace and goodwill towards men as proclaimed in the Christmas carol "Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, goodwill towards men." The angel's feathers, delicately rendered in intricate detail, shimmer with a celestial glow, evoking a sense of otherworldly beauty and serenity. The angel's form is reminiscent of the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its emphasis on naturalism, rich colors, and meticulous detail. The Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emerged in the mid-19th century, was a reaction against the industrialization and mechanization of art. Artists sought to return to the traditional techniques of the past, focusing on the beauty of nature and the human form. This print embodies the movement's ideals, with its intricate detail, vibrant colors, and otherworldly subject matter. The verse inscribed at the bottom of the print, "Glory to God in the highest," is taken from the Bible, specifically from the Gospel of Luke (2:14). This verse is often associated with the Christmas story and the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. The translation of the verse into English is just one of many translations throughout history, each offering a unique interpretation of the original text. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the enduring power of religious beliefs and the role they play in shaping our culture and history.
