Gloria, 1884. Thomas Wilmer Dewing (American, 1851-1938). Gouache over graphite; sheet: 30.8 x 27.8 cm (12 1/8 x 10 15/16 in.); image: 27 x 23 cm (10 5/8 x 9 1/16 in.). Dewings small, densely packed composition of four singing angels alludes to depictions of angels playing musical instruments found in 14th-century medieval manuscripts. Angels were traditionally shown playing stringed instruments, whose delicate tones were thought to lift the mind to spiritual matters. The harp, as depicted here, was the instrument most closely associated with heavenly music. With the continuous circling of halos and harps, Dewing suggested a hypnotic, celestial melody.

Angels Holding a Dial Indicating the Different Hours of the Acts of the Passion (Anges tenant un cadran indiquant les différentes heures des actes de la passion) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902).

Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 7 3/4 x 6 3/4 in. (19.7 x 17.1 cm).
