Original Description
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan’s S.O.S. (1914–1916) is a hauntingly beautiful Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that captures the ethereal sorrow of war. The painting depicts a spectral woman draped in flowing robes, her arms outstretched as if summoning lost souls from the depths of the sea. Bathed in a melancholic blue-green palette, the scene feels both ghostly and tender, echoing De Morgan’s pacifist beliefs during World War I. Her symbolic use of allegory—a hallmark of her work—infuses the piece with emotional depth, blending mythological themes with contemporary anguish. As one of the few female artists in the male-dominated Pre-Raphaelite circle, De Morgan’s contributions to art history are significant, with S.O.S. standing as a poignant critique of war’s futility and a testament to her mastery of luminous, dreamlike compositions.
For a space seeking depth and historical resonance, S.O.S. could serve as a striking focal point in a study, library, or office with muted, earthy tones or dark wood furniture to heighten its dramatic impact. The painting’s blues and greens harmonize beautifully with jewel-toned textiles (emerald velvets or sapphire silks) or a matte black accent wall. Given its allegorical nature, it pairs well with other Pre-Raphaelite works or minimalist decor to avoid visual clutter. A medium or large reproduction (around 24x36 inches) would balance intimacy and grandeur—ideal for hanging above a desk or fireplace, where its emotional gravity can be contemplated. Soft, diffused lighting (like warm-toned LEDs) would enhance its ethereal glow without overpowering the room’s ambiance.
