EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of William de Morgan (1839-1917), a renowned English artist, potter, tile designer, and novelist, as depicted by his wife Evelyn de Morgan (nee Pickering) in the late 1880s. The Pre-Raphaelite influence is evident in the vivid colors and intricate details of the painting, with William's ginger-red hair and piercing gaze drawing the viewer in. Born in London, William de Morgan was a versatile artist who made significant contributions to the arts scene during the Victorian era. He began his career as a painter, studying under the tutelage of Ford Madox Brown and John Everett Millais. However, it was his work in pottery and tile design that brought him lasting fame. De Morgan is best known for his innovative glazes and intricate designs, which combined Eastern and Western influences and were inspired by his travels to the Middle East. In addition to his artistic pursuits, de Morgan was also an accomplished writer, publishing several novels and short stories under the pseudonym "F.rend de Morgan." His works often explored themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite interest in the romantic and the imaginative. Evelyn de Morgan's portrait of her husband is a testament to their deep connection and her skill as a painter. The portrait captures not only William's physical appearance but also the depth of his character and the passion that drove him to excel in multiple artistic mediums. This image provides a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man and the artistic world of the Victorian era.
