Original Description
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan’s Night and Sleep (1878) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that weaves myth and symbolism into a dreamlike tableau. The painting depicts Night, a serene female figure draped in dark blue, cradling the sleeping god Morpheus, while stars twinkle in the celestial expanse behind them. The ethereal glow of the moon bathes the scene in soft silvery light, creating a tranquil yet haunting atmosphere. De Morgan’s meticulous attention to detail, rich jewel-toned palette, and flowing drapery reflect her allegiance to the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s ideals of beauty and narrative depth. The work also channels her interest in spiritualism and classical mythology, standing as a poignant counterpoint to the industrial era’s upheavals. Though less widely known than her male contemporaries, De Morgan’s oeuvre, including this piece, is now celebrated for its technical mastery and feminist undertones, securing her a place among the most significant late-Victorian artists.
For home or office decor, Night and Sleep lends itself to spaces designed for contemplation or relaxation, such as a bedroom, study, or meditation nook. Its deep blues and silvers pair elegantly with muted, earthy tones or gilded accents, making it ideal for a classic, Art Nouveau-inspired, or even modern bohemian interior. Consider a large-scale replica (around 24x36 inches) as a focal point above a console table or bed, balanced by low-wattage warm lighting to echo its lunar glow. Alternatively, a smaller print could anchor a gallery wall alongside botanical sketches or other Pre-Raphaelite works. The painting’s mythological theme harmonizes with velvet textiles, antique brass finishes, or celestial decor like star-shaped sconces. In a workspace, it fosters calm creativity—layer it with greenery and soft textiles to offset its dramatic mystique while maintaining professionalism.
