Evelyn De Morgan (1855–1919) was a British painter known for her richly symbolic and highly detailed works that often depicted themes of spirituality, mythology, and social justice. Born in London into a wealthy family, De Morgan showed an early talent for art and pursued her passion despite societal expectations for women of her class. She trained at the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art, where she developed her unique style, blending influences from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Renaissance masters. De Morgan's paintings are characterized by their luminous colors, intricate compositions, and profound symbolism. Her work often featured strong, ethereal women, drawing on her deep interest in spiritualism and her commitment to social causes, such as women's suffrage and pacifism. Notable works include "The Soul's Prison House" and "Flora," which reflect her preoccupation with the human condition and the struggle between the material and spiritual worlds. Married to the ceramicist William De Morgan, Evelyn's art was often overshadowed by her husband's work, but she remained a dedicated and prolific artist until her death. Her legacy endures as a significant figure in late Victorian art, celebrated for her visionary approach and the moral depth of her paintings.
