Original Description
The Crown of Glory by Evelyn Pickering De Morgan (1900) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that weaves celestial light with Symbolist poetry. Against an otherworldly blue background, seven ethereal feminine figures form a glowing semicircle, their intertwined arms supporting a golden crown as their draperies dissolve into swirling stardust. Rich with De Morgan’s signature spiritual allegories, the painting reflects her lifelong fascination with theosophy and the soul’s ascension – themes that challenged Victorian norms through her female-centric narratives. The dreamlike luminosity, achieved through layered glazing techniques, connects her to the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism, while the cosmic imagery foreshadows early 20th-century Mysticism. This pivotal work, now in the De Morgan Collection, remains celebrated for seamlessly merging medieval tapestry aesthetics with progressive feminist undertones, establishing the artist as a bridge between Romanticism and Modern Esoteric Art.
For contemporary interiors, this artwork shines as a statement piece in studies or meditation spaces. Its celestial blue and gold palette pairs brilliantly with dark walnut bookshelves or Art Nouveau furnishings, while the circular composition harmonizes with arched doorways or round mirrors. Consider a prominent placement – above a fireplace or as a focal wall in a reading nook – using a frame with subtle gilt details to echo the crown motif without competing. At 76x102cm, it commands attention in midsize rooms; in larger spaces, balance its verticality with low-profile furniture in ochre or sage tones drawn from the figures’ draperies. For offices, position it where natural light can enhance its luminosity, complementing with minimalistic brass desk accessories. The spiritual theme makes it particularly powerful in wellness spaces or creative studios seeking inspirational ambiance.
