Description
of the subjects depicted in the print:
\" Night \" and \" Morning \" are among the most exquisitelypoetical conceptions of a mind whose constitution was eminently of a poeticalorder, as evinced in nearly the whole of its productions. The former issymbolised by a winged figure bearing two infants, floating rather thanflying through the air; they are asleep, and an air of repose is felicitouslygiven to the composition by the quiet attitudes assumed by the figures,even to the lower limbs of the principal one, crossed as at rest: the companionof their shadowy flight is the \"bird that loves darkness.\" \" Morning,\"the other hand, is full of life and light— \" Scattering bright flowerson the jewelled earth.\" Every limb of these two figures shows activityand motion: the \" torch-bearer \" does not \" rest \" on his associate, althoughpoised on her shoulder; his own wings are bearing him onward through thefreshening air, which expands and moves the draperies by its gentle influences.Equally poetical with Flaxman, more elegant, but with less of classicalseverity, Thorwaldsen must ever be regarded asone of the great lights of an enlightened age.
