DescriptionThe top and bottom of the work have boxes of text; the top has a few words and the bottom has many. Extending from the ULC is a group of clouds with angelic figures inside in which one descends from the light which is reaching a female figure in the LRC. A figure with wings is directly across from her and approaching on the left. Most of the image is taken up by an open building where these figures stand. Above and around are groupings of smaller figures interacting.On View
