MOBGAN (Pre-Raphaelite School) GLORIA IN EXCELSIS (Illustrated on opposite page) A WONDERFUL piece of painting, with all the technical excel-lence of the pre-Raphaelite School, which does not, however,detract from the general effect of the picture as a whole. Itrepresents two celestial beings, in long flowing robes paintedto give the effect of feathers, walking beside a small stream,on whose rocky banks flowers grow before their footsteps. Asthey advance, one playing a lyre, the other singing from along parchment roll held in her hands, a number of eight-winged cherubim descend in a blaze of glory from the skies,hovering just above the angels heads. The latter walk withwings half spread, one in all the purple and golden glory ofthe peacocks plumage, the other with brown pinions, with thesofter feathers of red and gold. Signed on the lower right, E. de M., 1893. Height, 46 inches; width, 31 inches. From the collection of the late William Imrie, Esq., Holmstead,Moseley Hill, Liverpool.
