Original Description
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan’s Cassandra (1898) is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that embodies the artist’s signature blend of Pre-Raphaelite detail and Symbolist melancholy. The painting portrays the tragic Trojan prophetess Cassandra, bathed in an ethereal golden light, her expression imbued with both anguish and resignation—an echo of her cursed gift of foresight, forever ignored. De Morgan’s meticulous brushwork and luminous color palette, reminiscent of Edward Burne-Jones (her uncle by marriage), heighten the emotional intensity. The rich drapery, intricate patterns, and subdued yet glowing tones reflect her training in the classical tradition and her fascination with spiritual and feminist themes. As one of the few prominent female artists of the late Victorian era, De Morgan’s Cassandra stands as a poignant critique of female voicelessness, securing its place in art history as a bridge between Romantic idealism and early modern symbolism.
For a striking yet harmonious display, Cassandra would elevate a study or living room with its introspective mood. Its warm ochres and deep blues pair well with earth-toned furnishings or dark wood accents, creating a refined, timeless aesthetic. Consider hanging it as a focal point above a vintage desk or against a textured, neutral wall to emphasize its luminosity. A gilded frame would complement its Pre-Raphaelite detailing, while smaller prints (around 24x36 inches) suit intimate spaces without overpowering them. In a minimalist office, the painting’s symbolism could inspire depth, while in a classic interior, it would echo velvet drapes or brass finishes. Avoid overcrowding the wall—let its mournful grandeur breathe.
