"Aureole" is a word in ENGLISH
The circle of rays, or halo of light, with which painters
surround the figure and represent the glory of Christ, saints, and
others held in special reverence.
A celestial crown or accidental glory added to the bliss
of heaven, as a reward to those (as virgins, martyrs, preachers, etc.)
who have overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil.
A halo, actual or figurative.
See Areola, 2.
Artists are dishonest creatures really. They foist their version of reality upon us while making it all up. Writers, painters, musicians, auteurs—they’re all the same.
