The Harpies – Gustave Doré (1832–1883)
The deep blues and dusky tones of the background evoke a star-strewn sky
A lone figure stands beneath a statue on a misty bridge
symbolising the effects of chloroform on the human body
Labisse masterfully captures the depth of human suffering in the face of conflict
Night with Her Train of Stars | Edward Robert Hughes | 1912 18th Century The Harpies – Gustave DoréEdward Robert Hughes, Night with Her Train of Stars (1912), presents Night as a vast, winged figure drifting through a deep blue sky, cradling sleep while stars and butterflies trail softly behind her. Luminous and dreamlike, the scene evokes silence, rest, and the gentle passage from wakefulness into dreams, blending myth, symbolism, and celestial calm.
