Original Description
Evelyn Pickering De Morgan’s The Light Shineth in Darkness and the Darkness Comprehendeth It Not (1906) is a luminous allegorical masterpiece that embodies the spiritualist ideals of the late Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting depicts a radiant female figure, bathed in celestial light, struggling against shadowy, enshrouded forms—a visual metaphor for the eternal clash between enlightenment and ignorance. De Morgan’s meticulous detail, flowing drapery, and ethereal palette reflect her Academic training and Symbolist influences, while the work’s esoteric themes align with her interest in theosophy and pacifism. Created during her mature period, the piece stands as a testament to her unique voice within Victorian art, bridging Pre-Raphaelite romanticism and early 20th-century mystical modernism. Its spiritual intensity and technical finesse have cemented its status as a significant, if underrecognized, contribution to British Symbolism.
For interior styling, this painting’s transcendent themes and jewel-toned hues make it ideal for spaces designed to inspire contemplation, such as a study or meditation room. Hang it against deep navy or sage green walls to accentuate its glow, ensuring sufficient natural or warm artificial lighting to mimic its celestial radiance. A gilt or distressed gold frame would harmonize with its Renaissance-reminiscent details, while minimalist furniture—like a streamlined walnut desk or a neutral upholstered chair—would prevent visual competition. At 109 x 52 cm, its vertical composition suits narrow walls or alcoves, perhaps flanked by candle sconces or trailing plants to enhance its organic mystique. Pair it with tactile textiles (velvet, raw silk) to echo its tactile brushwork, creating a sanctuary-like atmosphere.
