Edward Robert Hughes - Wings of the Morning (ca. 1905)

'My idea in this picture is to make these creatures welcome the dawn, which is slowly creeping over a range of mountains for the most part in shadow, and only the highest peaks being touched by rosy light. The sky, however, is a mass of cirrus clouds high enough to be well coloured by this same light - so making a kind of confusion with the many fluttering bird's wings, surrounding and accompanying the huge wings of the supernatural girl flying towards dawn. Below and beneath all this welcome gaiety and light as though fleeing from them into the darkness that lingers are the winged things of night.' (Beresford, p. 116).
