About Evelyn De Morgan

Trained at the Slade in the late 1870s when women were still a novelty in serious art schools, she emerged as one of the most intellectually ambitious painters of the second-generation Pre-Raphaelite circle. Her allegorical figures owe an obvious debt to Burne-Jones, but the symbolism runs deeper and stranger: spiritualism, pacifism, and a quiet feminist current shape canvases like Night and Sleep and The Storm Spirits. She worked closely with her husband, the ceramicist William De Morgan, funding his kiln experiments with her painting. For contemporary viewers, her work offers something rare: mythological imagery that takes its own ideas seriously, with jewel-toned drapery and figures that actually mean something.
