Wings of the Morning
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Edward Robert Hughes is a captivating piece that transports viewers to a realm where mythology and folklore intertwine. This enchanting painting, housed in a private collection, showcases the artist's mastery of watercolour and gouache techniques. In this Victorian-era masterpiece, Hughes brings to life an ethereal scene inspired by Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The composition features vikings, elves, and other mythical creatures from Norse mythology. Bathed in golden hues against a backdrop of dreamy pastels, the artwork exudes an otherworldly atmosphere. The central figure is Puck or Robin Goodfellow, known for his mischievous nature. With wings spread wide as if taking flight at dawn, he embodies the spirit of morning itself. Surrounding him are characters like Titania and various viking warriors who seem caught between sleep and wakefulness. Hughes' attention to detail shines through with intricate costumes adorned with traditional Viking motifs. The delicate brushwork captures every fold of fabric and glimmering armor flawlessly. Through this allegorical portrayal, the artist seamlessly merges pagan traditions with theatrical elements. As we gaze upon "Wings of the Morning" we cannot help but be transported into a world where dreams come alive on canvas. It serves as a testament to Hughes' skill in capturing both beauty and mysticism within his artistry – truly making it one of his most remarkable contributions to pre-Raphaelite paintings.
