Did you know Charles Dodgson (aka Lewis Caroll) had William De Morgan tiles in his rooms at Oxford?

"The Hourglass" by Evelyn De Morgan (English) - Oil on canvas / 1904-1905 - De Morgan Foundation (Barnsley, England) #WomenInArt #WomanArtist #art #WomensArt #artText #FemaleArtist #WomenPaintingWomen #EnglishArtist #WomenArtists #EvelynDeMorgan #DeMorgan #DeMorganCollection #EnglishArt #JaneMorris
English painter Evelyn De Morgan (Mary Evelyn Pickering) features legendary Pre-Raphaelite muse Jane Morris (Jane Burden) who came out of "retirement" to pose for De Morgan including this thematic painting of a regal woman sitting pensively on an ornate throne, touching an hourglass, while an angelic figure plays a flute in a doorway, hinting at the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. In 1924, De Morgan's sister British writer Anna Marie Diana Wilhelmina Stirling (aka Wilhelmina Stirling and the alias Percival Pickering), wrote that De Morgan identified the painting as "an echo of a movement in the Waldstein Sonata (Piano Sonata No. 21) of Beethoven." This is her description: "In an ancient chair, inlaid with ivory, a woman is seen seated. Behind her on the wall are glowing tapestries; a gold lamp of medieval design is suspended above her head. Her draperies, in wonderful hues of yellow and russet bronze, are thickly sewn with pearls, the delineation of which in correct perspective constituted a tour de force. Jewels of barbaric design accentuate the richness of her attire and gleam again from her quaint head-dress, beneath which shows the first indication of age -- her whitening locks. Meanwhile, with a brooding sorrow, her gaze is fixed upon an hourglass, clasped in her slender fingers, wherein the sands are swiftly running out: at her feet is a dying rose, and close to her lies a book on which are visible the words -- Mos Janua Vitae -- Death is the portal of life. So, too, unheeded by her, outside the open doorway stands the figure of life, the Immortal, piping joyously in the sunlight in robes of azure amid the blossoming flowers of spring." Jane Morris was an accomplished English embroiderer in the Arts and Crafts movement, but is fondly remembered as the model who embodied the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of beauty as the muse for 20 Dante Gabriel Rossetti paintings. She was also the model for De Morgan's popular 1903 "The Love Potion" painting.

"Flora" by Evelyn De Morgan (English) - Oil on canvas / 1894 - Wightwick Manor (Wolverhampton, England) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #EvelynDeMorgan #DeMorgan #WightwickManor #Symbolism #Myth #Spring #art #artText #BlueskyArt #PreRaphaelite #Pre-Raphaelite #WomenPaintingWomen
Flora is the Roman goddess of flowers and spring, and English artist Evelyn De Morgan paints her (model Jane Hales) as a self-possessed emblem of renewal. Made entirely in Florence, Italy in 1894, the picture knowingly echoes Florentine painter Sandro Botticelli's Primavera in its abundance of flowers and idealized drapery, but the direct gaze keeps the goddess firmly in charge of the encounter. A young woman stands front-facing in a bright spring landscape. She has light skin and softly modeled features, with long orangish hair falling in loose waves. Her expression is calm, meeting our gaze without theatrical gesture. She wears a yellowish, flowing robe patterned with small Florentine flowers and pansy blossoms. Gathered at the waist is a vivid red scarf that drifts diagonally like a ribbon caught in a gentle breeze. Blossoms sprinkle the ground at her feet, so the painting seems to shed petals into our space. Behind her rises a loquat (nespola) tree, its glossy leaves framing her figure while a chaffinch bird and a siskin bird perch and flit within the branches. At the lower right, a scroll bears an Italian poem that names her as Flora and links her to Florence. The palette balances creamy whites and warm reds against many greens, creating a sense of cool air and new growth. Leaves, fruit, and birds are rendered as specific presences rather than generic ornament. De Morgan Foundation director Sarah Hardy notes the painting’s extreme care: “every blade of grass and strand of hair has been considered.” The Italian scroll celebrates Florence and then turns toward “Scotia,” pointing to the work’s Scottish patron, ship-owner William Imrie, who bought the painting and commissioned related works using the beautiful Hales. He also commissioned Cassandra and Helen of Troy, extending this mythic, woman-centered cycle. In that shift from Italy to the “northern mists,” spring becomes more than a season. It becomes a story about art, place, and starting again.

"Medea" by Evelyn De Morgan (British) - Oil on canvas / 1889 - Williamson Art Gallery and Museum (Birkenhead, England) #WomenInArt #EvelynDeMorgan #DeMorgan #WilliamsonArtGallery #GreekMythology #Medea #WomensArt #WomanArtist #WomenArtists #art #artText #BlueskyArt #PreRaphaelite #WomenPaintingWomen
British artist Evelyn De Morgan paints Medea not as spectacle but as suspended decision. A young adult woman with fair skin and auburn, pearl-threaded hair steps toward us through a marble palace. She is barefoot on a dark blue-and-cream tiled floor. Her long rose-mauve gown pools and folds in heavy, silky pleats. A pale silver lining flashes where the sleeves and hem turn back. Her head tilts slightly, eyes lowered and distant, as if listening inward rather than meeting our gaze. In her right hand (our left), she carries a translucent violet glass flask, the liquid inside a dark red. Around her, an arched corridor recedes in cool green and lapis ornament while carved friezes and shadowed statues line the walls. White doves perch and scatter with one on a ledge and several on the floor for bright notes of life. The vial marks the moment after Jason abandons her as vengeance is reduced to something that fits her hand, while her unarmored body carries moral weight. The palace is gorgeous yet confining as vaults press down, corridors narrow, and the chessboard floor turns her path into calculation. The doves sharpen the tension like emblems of peace or fidelity, they move freely where she cannot, while she pauses between thought and irreversible act. Painted in 1889, "Medea" belongs to De Morgan’s gallery of mythic women used to question power, betrayal, and the cost of being labeled monstrous. She had married William De Morgan in 1887 and moved in circles that linked art to social conscience, so interior feeling becomes argument. Medea’s downturned gaze can be interpreted as grief, rage, or exhaustion. The painting refuses to decide which emotion “counts.” It asks what abandonment does to a person when every door is decorative and every choice is judged. De Morgan once wrote, “Art is eternal, but life is short.” It is a credo that fits this scene because the myth is ancient, but the portrait of precarious agency still feels current.
