Madonna i en glorie af engle is a 1848 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a woman dressed in old-fashioned robes, standing still with her hands folded. Around her head is a bright glow, like light shining out. Four winged figures hover nearby, some holding musical instruments or books. Below her, two people kneel, looking up with serious faces. The woman’s face is calm but serious, and the light behind her makes her look important. The photo was taken in 1848, which was a time when artists often added dramatic light and emotion to their work. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this strong light-and-dark contrast works.
