Edward Burne-Jones on Angels





The more materialistic science becomes, the more angels shall I paint. Their winds are my protest in favour of the immortality of the soul.

  1. One of his most beautiful works, I think - thanks for sharing.

    Nobody said it better than Keats...

    Philosophy will clip an Angel's wings
    Conquer all mysteries by rule and line
    Empty the haunted air and gnomed mine —
    Unweave a rainbow...

  2. That is so lovely. Thanks. I wonder if BJ would have liked being on the front of so many Christmas cards. I had a few days off so apologise for coming back with so many posts. I think I got some renewed energy.
