Artwork Description

Wings Of The Morning by Edward Robert Hughes, 1905

Framed Canvas Art

Wings Of The Morning presents a luminous winged figure soaring through dawn skies above a darkened mountain range, her golden hair streaming behind her as she scatters flowers across the awakening world. Hughes employs a sophisticated palette of coral-pink clouds melting into lavender twilight, while the figure's pale flesh tones glow against the deep ultramarine peaks below. The artist's meticulous Pre-Raphaelite technique achieves an almost porcelain finish through countless glazes, creating seamless transitions between the ethereal upper atmosphere and the solid, shadowed earth beneath.

Read full artwork description

Painted during Hughes' mature period when he had perfected his synthesis of Pre-Raphaelite idealism with Symbolist mysticism, this work exemplifies his fascination with liminal moments between night and day, earth and heaven. Hughes, who had studied under Ford Madox Brown and worked alongside Burne-Jones, created this painting when the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's influence was waning, yet he remained committed to their vision of spiritual beauty rendered with technical precision. The composition reflects the period's interest in Romantic poetry and biblical imagery, particularly Psalm 139's reference to taking "the wings of the morning," transforming sacred text into visual allegory that resonated with Edwardian audiences seeking transcendence amid rapid modernization.

Our museum-grade giclee reproduction captures the subtle gradations from the warm amber highlights in the figure's wings to the cool violet shadows pooling in the mountain valleys, preserving Hughes' characteristic technique of building luminosity through transparent color layers. The archival cotton canvas retains the smooth, almost enamel-like surface quality that distinguishes Hughes' finished oils from the looser brushwork of his contemporaries, while recovering the delicate pink and gold tonalities that standard reproductions flatten into generic sunset hues. Each ornate composite frame features an antique gold finish that harmonizes with the painting's celestial palette, enhancing the work's ethereal quality without overwhelming Hughes' carefully balanced composition.

Digital Restoration

Many older painting have lost their vibrancy with age as varnish yellows and dirt accumulates. Our artisans use the latest in digital technology to restore these masterpieces to their former glory.

Fredrix Canvas with HP Latex Inks

All of our reproductions are printed on archival quality Fredrix poly/cotton blend canvas for longevity and vibrancy. This canvas has a more traditional look and feel compared to the 100% polyester "canvas" used by some competitors .

HP Latex Inks are non toxic and environmentally friendly compared to harsh, solvent based inks while still providing excellent range throughout the color gamut.

Poplar Stretcher Frame

Our stretcher frame is kiln dried Poplar that has been sustainably harvested from sawmills in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia and is Appalachian Hardwood Verified Sustainable by the AMHI.

This is the best stretcher frame available and is far superior to the MDF and imported pine used by many competitors.

Premium Resin Frames

We exclusively use premium resin frames imported from South Korea, the world leader in this frame type. See The Frame for more information.

Frames are cut by our craftsmen on industry standard 14" Pistorious Double Miter saws for perfect cuts every time.

Perfect Corners

Frames and stretcher frames are joined carefully and precisely by our trained staff. We use only the finest in programmable, Italian joiners for all of our frames.

Hand Stretched

Our canvases are stretched by hand for an authentic touch of Old World craftsmanship.

Hand Embellished

Our artisans add clear gesso embellishments over the entire canvas to bring an unrivaled level of authenticity to our reproductions. The embellishments add a depth and dimensionality that is breathtaking.

Assembled With Pride

The stretched and embellished canvas is carefully secured to the frame with furniture grade staples and plywood corner gussets are added to the frame for additional structural integrity.

Dust Cover and Wire Hardware

A kraft paper dust cover is added to the back of the artwork for a clean, professional finish and a stout wire and hanging hardware is installed for ease of hanging when you receive your Canvas Classics painting.

Quality Assurance and Packing

Your artwork is given a final quality assurance check before it is professionally packed for shipping to its new forever home.
