Original Description
The 1882 painting Boreas and Fallen Leaves by Evelyn Pickering De Morgan masterfully blends Pre-Raphaelite detail with Symbolist atmosphere. Depicting the Greek wind god Boreas as a swirling, ethereal figure clutching fallen autumn leaves, the work exudes a haunting beauty—his translucent form contrasts starkly with the crisp realism of drifting foliage, creating a dynamic tension between permanence and decay. Painted during De Morgan’s Symbolist phase, it reflects her fascination with mythology and the ephemeral, rendered in jewel-toned colors that glow against muted backgrounds—a hallmark of her work. Historically significant as one of few Victorian-era female artists exploring mystical themes, this piece bridges Pre-Raphaelite craftsmanship and Art Nouveau’s flowing elegance, making it a poignant example of late 19th-century British allegorical painting.
For decor, this artwork’s melancholic elegance suits contemplative spaces like studies or meditation rooms. Choose a gilded frame with organic motifs to complement its Pre-Raphaelite roots, and hang it against deep teal or burgundy walls to amplify its autumnal palette. At 30 x 20 inches (typical for De Morgan’s cabinet paintings), it works above a sideboard or desk—paired with botanical prints or Arts & Crafts ceramics for thematic harmony. The painting’s cool blues and warm oranges allow it to anchor a color scheme: layer ivory linens, bronze accents, and dried foliage arrangements to echo its transient beauty. In offices, position it near reading nooks with Tiffany-style lamps to accentuate its luminous quality while maintaining sophistication. Avoid overcrowding the display; its symbolic depth demands breathing space.
