The artwork titled “Heaven rung, With jubilee, and loud hosannas filled The eternal regions” is a creation by Gustave Doré, a notable artist within the Romanticism art movement. This particular piece falls under the genre of illustration and is part of the “Paradise Lost” series.
In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a heavenly scene that exudes a sense of divine exultation and celestial celebration. Dominating the upper part of the scene, two majestic figures, likely of immense spiritual significance, sit enthroned upon clouds. One of the figures, distinguished by holding a cross, adds a poignant religious undertone to the scene. Surrounding them is a vast, luminous cloud formation which appears to recede into the horizon, filled with an incalculable number of angelic beings who seem to be in various stages of praise and worship. In the foreground, elegantly winged angels move with grace and fervor, their expressions and gestures conveying a sense of jubilation and reverence. The collective composition of the piece, with its rich intricacies and divine symphony, profoundly captures the essence of the heavenly realms as described in John Milton’s epic poem “Paradise Lost”.
