Allen Angel Babies C1915 Cherub Cherubs Cradling Daphne Dreamy Fantasy Virgin Vision
EDITORS COMMENTS
This dreamy and fantastical illustration, titled "The Vision," depicts an ethereal angel cradling a number of babies in a serene and otherworldly setting. The angel, with wings outstretched and a gentle expression, seems to radiate light, while the cherubs surrounding her playfully add an air of joy and wonder. The scene is reminiscent of the traditional Christian image of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus and the cherubs, yet this interpretation offers a fresh and imaginative take on the theme. The illustration, created in the early 20th century around 1915, is a beautiful example of the artistic style popular during that era. It is believed to be the work of Daphne Allen, a talented illustrator whose body of work spanned various genres and mediums. Her use of delicate lines, soft colors, and dreamlike elements is evident in this piece. The historical context of this illustration is intriguing, as it reflects the religious and artistic trends of the time. Religion and spirituality were significant influences on art during the early 1900s, and this illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of religious themes in art. The presence of cherubs, those chubby, winged infants often depicted in art and literature, adds an element of whimsy and enchantment to the scene. They represent innocence, joy, and the promise of new life, making them a fitting accompaniment to the angel and the babies she protects. Overall, this illustration is a stunning example of the power of art to transport us to another world, filled with wonder and beauty. It invites us to contemplate the mysteries of life, faith, and the divine, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of religious themes in art.
