EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Ariadne in Naxos" by Evelyn De Morgan takes us on a journey to the mythical shores of ancient Greece. This stunning oil on canvas print, measuring 60.3x99.7 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion. In this piece, we see Ariadne, daughter of King Minos of Crete and Pasiphae, standing gracefully on a sandy beach. The Pre-Raphaelite influence is evident in every brushstroke as her flowing garments and radiant red hair blend harmoniously with the coastal landscape. As Ariadne gazes out towards the sea, one can almost feel her longing for adventure and escape from her troubled past. The coastline stretches endlessly before her, symbolizing infinite possibilities awaiting discovery. De Morgan's attention to detail is remarkable; she skillfully portrays the shimmering shoreline and crashing waves that bring life to this maritime scene. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while enhancing its ethereal quality. This exquisite artwork is part of the De Morgan Collection housed at the De Morgan Foundation. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment as it invites viewers to immerse themselves in an enchanting world where mythology meets artistic brilliance. Whether you are drawn to its feminine allure or captivated by its historical significance, "Ariadne in Naxos" remains an enduring masterpiece that continues to inspire awe even after more than a century since its creation.
