Original Description
Evelyn De Morgan’s Medea (1889) is a hauntingly beautiful Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that captures the tragic sorceress of Greek myth in a moment of dark determination. Bathed in an eerie, golden glow, Medea stands atop a balcony, clutching a vial of poison while the full moon illuminates her flowing robes and the distant seascape. De Morgan’s intricate detailing—seen in the rich fabrics, symbolic jewelry (like the serpent bracelet, hinting at betrayal), and the mosaic floor echoing Byzantine art—reflects her commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of vivid storytelling and technical precision. The painting reinterprets Medea not merely as a villain but as a complex woman bound by passion and vengeance, aligning with the era’s fascination with mythological heroines. As one of De Morgan’s most celebrated works, it exemplifies her unique blend of spiritual symbolism and feminist undertones, securing her place among the significant yet often overlooked women artists of the 19th century.
For a striking decor statement, Medea’s dramatic composition and gold-accented palette make it ideal for spaces with warm, deep tones like burgundy, emerald, or navy walls. Hang it in a study or library to amplify a moody, intellectual atmosphere, paired with vintage furniture or gilded frames for cohesion. The painting’s medium size (approx. 72 x 42 cm) suits it above a fireplace or as a focal point in a hallway nook. Balance its intensity with softer textures—velvet cushions or a Persian rug—while echoing its colors through metallic accents or stained glass lamps. In a minimalist office, it could anchor the room as a bold contrast to clean lines, sparking conversation without overwhelming the space.
