"Non Angli Sed Angeli" is a painting by the British artist William Midgley (1868–1942). The title of the work is derived from a phrase attributed to Pope Gregory the Great, which translates from Latin to "not Angles, but angels." According to historical accounts, Gregory uttered these words upon encountering fair-haired English youths in the Roman slave market, which inspired him to send missionaries to England to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity.

Midgley's painting, which dates from the late 19th or early 20th century, captures this legendary moment in a romanticized style characteristic of the period. The work is noted for its attention to detail, use of color, and the emotional resonance of the scene depicted. It reflects the Victorian fascination with medieval history and religious themes, as well as the era's broader interest in the moral and spiritual dimensions of art.

The painting is part of a genre of historical and religious works that were popular among the Victorian public and collectors. Midgley, though not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, was a skilled painter who contributed to the rich tapestry of British art history. His work, including "Non Angli Sed Angeli," offers insight into the cultural and artistic sensibilities of his time.

"Non Angli Sed Angeli" by William Midgley is held in private collections or public institutions, and it has been exhibited on various occasions, contributing to the understanding of Victorian art and its narratives. The painting continues to be of interest to scholars and enthusiasts of British art, particularly those studying the intersection of art, religion, and national identity during the Victorian era.
