The Light Shineth in Darkness and the Darkness Comprehendeth It Not, 1906
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Evelyn De Morgan that beautifully captures the eternal struggle between light and darkness. In this mesmerizing artwork, De Morgan skillfully depicts a scene filled with angels and the damned, creating an atmosphere of both awe and despair. The composition showcases De Morgan's mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its attention to detail and vibrant colors. The artist's use of rich hues adds depth to the canvas, making it come alive with emotion. The contrasting elements of light and dark further enhance the dramatic impact of the painting. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are drawn into a world where angels radiate divine light while surrounded by souls lost in darkness. The title itself suggests that despite their proximity to each other, these two realms remain incomprehensible to one another. De Morgan's work invites us to reflect on our own understanding of good versus evil, hope versus despair. It challenges us to contemplate whether true enlightenment can ever be comprehended by those consumed by darkness. This thought-provoking piece from 1906 continues to captivate viewers today with its timeless themes and exquisite execution. As part of the esteemed De Morgan Collection at eDe Morgan Foundation, this print serves as a reminder that art has the power not only to inspire but also to illuminate our understanding of life's complexities.
