Original Description
Evelyn De Morgan’s The Worship of Mammon (1909) is a haunting allegorical masterpiece that immerses viewers in a dystopian vision of material greed. The painting’s dark, Baroque-inspired atmosphere is charged with symbolic tension—Mammon, the demonic personification of wealth, looms over a prostrated worshipper bathed in eerie golden light, while skeletal figures lurk in the shadows. Executed in De Morgan’s signature Pre-Raphaelite style with Art Nouveau flourishes, the work critiques industrial-age avarice through meticulous detail, luminous colors, and sinuous linework. As one of the last great allegories of the British Symbolist movement, it holds a pivotal place in art history, bridging late Victorian moralism and early modernist social commentary. The painting’s unflinching portrayal of spiritual corruption continues to resonate in contemporary discussions about capitalism and morality.
For interior spaces, The Worship of Mammon makes a striking statement in rooms with Gothic, Victorian, or dark academia aesthetics. Its rich crimson and gold tones pair well with burgundy walls or mahogany wood accents, while the dramatic subject matter suits libraries or studies. Choose a prominent wall with strategic lighting—dimmable spotlights will enhance the eerie glow of the gilded details. Given its standard exhibition size (approx. 125×81 cm), scale it above a sideboard or between floor-to-ceiling bookshelves to maintain visual balance. Offset its intensity with Art Nouveau furnishings or Burne-Jones tapestries to create a cohesive late-19th-century narrative. In offices, it serves as a provocative conversation piece for finance or philosophy-focused spaces, though its unsettling theme may warrant placement in less client-facing areas. A museum-quality reproduction on matte canvas will preserve its Old Master gravitas without overwhelming modern interiors.
