Original Description
Endymion II by Harry Morley (1881–1943) captures the Romantic yearning of Greek mythology through Pre-Raphaelite clarity. This early 20th-century watercolor reimagines the sleeping shepherd beloved by Selene, the moon goddess, with jewel-like precision characteristic of Morley’s Arts and Crafts training. The composition glows with lunar radiance – Endymion’s recumbent form bathed in cool blues contrasts against warm earth tones, while intricate botanical details reveal Burne-Jones’ influence. Though lesser-known than his stained-glass work, this painting exemplifies Morley’s fusion of Symbolist themes with English illustrative tradition, bridging Victorian romanticism and emerging Art Nouveau. The vertical format and flattened perspective create a dreamlike, altar-like quality, elevating mythological narrative to decorative sanctity.
For contemporary placement, this vertical work (approximately 24x36 inches) commands attention as a focal point in richly textured spaces. Frame it in slender gilt oak to complement its medieval inspirations, installing at eye-level in a study with Chesterfield leather furnishings or a bedroom with William Morris wallpapers. The painting’s nocturne palette harmonizes with charcoal gray walls or terracotta accents, while its gold leaf details echo brass lighting fixtures. In corporate settings, position it in executive lounges alongside Craftsman-style bookcases to soften modernity with artistic heritage. Smaller giclée reproductions (scaled to 16x24 inches) work beautifully paired with Tiffany-style lamps in residential entries, creating immediate Old World sophistication. Avoid stark white backgrounds that would overpower the painting’s delicate luminosity.
