"Angeli Laudantes" is an 1894 painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. The painting depicts two angels, with large, feathery wings, holding harps. The angels’ robes and flowing hair are rendered in soft, muted colors, creating a dreamlike, ethereal atmosphere. The piece is currently housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England. Burne-Jones is well-known for his allegorical paintings, often drawing inspiration from Arthurian legends and mythology, as well as from the Bible.
