EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "On a Dark Wing" by George Dutch Davidson takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the mystical realm of angels. Created in 1899, this pen and wash print showcases the artist's incredible talent for capturing ethereal beauty. In this piece, three angelic figures are depicted with long, dark hair cascading down their robes. With wings spread wide and halos glowing above their heads, they exude an otherworldly presence. The intricate patterns adorning their garments reflect the influence of Celtic revival and arts and crafts movements prevalent during that time. One cannot help but be drawn to the peaceful serenity emanating from these sleeping angels as they hold hands in unity. Their plaited hair adds a touch of elegance to their celestial forms. Rendered in black and white, this artwork evokes a sense of timelessness while highlighting the delicate details within each figure. The contrast between light and shadow enhances the overall composition, creating a harmonious balance between darkness and illumination. This remarkable print is housed at The McManus in Dundee, UK – part of Dundee Art Galleries and Museums collection. It serves as a testament to Davidson's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of divine beauty through his masterful strokes.
