Original Description
Gloria in Excelsis (1893) by Evelyn Pickering De Morgan is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that captures celestial splendor through luminous brushwork. Depicting winged angels soaring amidst golden clouds while playing celestial instruments, the painting radiates spiritual serenity and harmonic motion. As one of the leading female artists in the Victorian Symbolist movement, De Morgan employed her signature medieval-inspired elongation of figures and rich jewel-toned palette—techniques directly influenced by her mentor Edward Burney-Jones. This tempera-on-canvas work exemplifies the artist’s lifelong exploration of spiritualism and feminism, standing as a significant counterpoint to male-dominated religious art of the era. Its intricate composition bridges Pre-Raphaelite detail with Art Nouveau fluidity, making it a pivotal transitional work in 19th-century British art.
For interior styling, this ethereal painting demands careful spatial consideration to enhance its transcendent qualities. Ideal for high-ceilinged rooms or above mantlepieces where its vertical composition (original size 125×61 cm) can breathe, it pairs beautifully with Gothic-revival furniture or arts-and-crafts oak bookcases. The celestial gold and sapphire hues suggest metallic accents—perhaps brass lighting fixtures or cobalt glassware—while the mystical theme harmonizes perfectly with jewel-toned velvets in emerald or amethyst. Consider scaled reproductions (a 60×30 cm version works well above consoles) in spaces benefiting from spiritual ambiance—meditation rooms, piano parlors, or executive offices seeking inspirational decor. The artwork’s vertical rhythm makes it perfect for flanking with slender candelabras or vertical planters of maidenhair ferns to echo its flowing lines without competing with its heavenly presence.
