Night Angel With Her Train of Stars
December 19th, 2008 by Kathleen
It is unusual to see modern angel paintings with dark wings, although dark wings were very common in the great angel art of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
I love the idea of an angel bringing night…and stars…and sleep…and rest…and dreams.
Also, somehow this painting reminds me of a quotation from Lord Byron.
The Angels were all singing out of tune,
And hoarse with having little else to do,
Excepting to wind up the sun and moon
Or curb a runaway young star or two.—Lord Byron
