The Angels' Whisper,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by J. J. Jenkins in 1850, is a captivating work of art that showcases the beauty and sentimentality of the Victorian era. This exquisite watercolor painting was exhibited at the Society of Painters in Water Colours and was described in the Illustrated London News as a "beautiful little picture" of a popular class in art. The scene unfolds in the humble cabin of a peasant, where two guardian angels tenderly keep watch over an innocent child as he sleeps. The warm glow of a single lamp illuminates the room, casting long, gentle shadows and bathing the scene in a soft, ethereal light. The angels, with their serene expressions and outstretched wings, seem to radiate a sense of peace and protection. The child, nestled in his bed, is oblivious to the world around him, his peaceful slumber undisturbed by the concerns of the outside world. A crucifix hangs on the wall, a reminder of the child's Christian upbringing, while a rosary and prayer beads lie on the bedside table, suggesting the importance of faith in his life. The angels' whispers are barely audible, a gentle reminder of their watchful presence and the protection they offer. The scene is a poignant reminder of the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, and the enduring power of faith and guardianship. This engraved print, created by Horace Harral and K. Johnson, captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more sentimental age. The rays of light that filter in through the window, the quiet stillness of the room, and the tender interaction between the angels and the child all combine to create a beautiful and moving work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
