Lit from within by a soft golden glow, a winged fairy hovers among the dark trunks of a shadowy forest, her wings catching the light while the trees fade into gloom. Images like this belong to a long tradition in which fairies and angels shared a visual vocabulary of wings, luminous figures and the uncanny edge between the human world and the spirit world. Painters and illustrators of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries returned to such scenes often, using contrasts of light and darkness to suggest something sacred or enchanted hidden in ordinary woodland. The gallery's placement of this piece under angels and fairies reflects how closely those two kinds of winged beings were linked in popular and devotional art.
