"Gloria in Excelsis" (1893) by Evelyn De Morgan depicts a scene of heavenly joy, featuring two angels amidst a backdrop of golden light and cherubic figures. The angel on the left gracefully plays a harp, while the angel on the right holds a scroll, symbolic of divine pronouncements. De Morgan was a prominent artist in the Pre-Raphaelite movement, known for her mystical and spiritual imagery, and this painting is a prime example of her style, evoking a sense of awe and wonder.
