"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.

“S.O.S.” by Evelyn De Morgan (British) - Oil on canvas / 1914–1916 - De Morgan Foundation (South Yorkshire, England) #WomenInArt #EvelynDeMorgan #WomanArtist #artText #DeMorgan #art #WomensArt #SOS #WomenArtists #1910s #symbolism #BritishArt #BlueskyArt #BritishArtist #OilPainting #WomenArtists
In S.O.S., painted during the First World War, British artist Evelyn De Morgan confronts the moral crisis provoked by conflict including its horror, futility, and the clash between good and evil. Responding to suffering that seemed almost beyond representation, she turns to symbols. The title itself takes its name from the then‐relatively new Morse code distress call for help: “Save Our Souls.” This cry, meant to summon help across physical distance, in De Morgan’s painting evokes a plea for spiritual deliverance as well. At the center stands a lone pale female figure, robed in white, symbolic of the innocence of war’s victims. She stands upon a solitary rock, arms outstretched, eyes raised toward heaven seeking both physical and spiritual deliverance from her plight as she is besieged by thundering waves and a myriad of sea serpents.” Surrounding her are storm‐tossed seas filled with dragons and monstrous sea serpents which are part of De Morgan’s recurring symbolist lexicon, embodiments of evil, chaos, death. Yet, even in this tempest, a rainbow arcs overhead like an icon of promise, peace, and the afterlife. De Morgan was deeply influenced by her spiritualist beliefs: the idea that human beings are more than their material existence, and that suffering has cosmic or moral significance. In “S.O.S.”, she does not merely depict war’s aftermath, but stages a moral vision: evil assails the innocent; yet faith, hope, and the spirit may yet triumph. Her own words, inscribed on the joint tombstone she shares with her husband, novelist and artist William De Morgan, reaffirm this: “Sorrow is only of the Earth, the life of the spirit is joy.” “S.O.S.” powerfully rejects the glorification of war, to instead be a symbolic, spiritualized piece of art that demands reflection. It is both elegy and prayer, warning and promise.
