Painting Description
"Blindness and Cupidity Chasing Joy from the City" (1897) is a significant work by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn Pickering De Morgan (1855–1919). This painting stands as a poignant allegory, encapsulating De Morgan's critique of societal ills and her yearning for a world imbued with joy and devoid of greed and ignorance. The artwork is emblematic of De Morgan's mature period, wherein she adeptly combined her technical prowess with her deep philosophical and spiritual convictions, often addressing themes of morality, social justice, and the human condition.
The painting depicts the allegorical figures of Blindness and Cupidity (greed) in the act of expelling Joy from an urban setting, symbolizing the detrimental impact of moral and spiritual decay on society. De Morgan's use of rich colors and detailed imagery not only highlights her skills as a painter but also serves to enhance the narrative depth of the piece. The work is reflective of the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medievalism, symbolism, and the use of allegory to comment on contemporary issues.
"Blindness and Cupidity Chasing Joy from the City" is a testament to Evelyn De Morgan's commitment to using her art as a vehicle for social commentary and reform. Her unique blend of aesthetic beauty and allegorical storytelling invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of societal vices and the importance of preserving joy and innocence in the face of corruption and moral blindness. This painting, like much of De Morgan's oeuvre, remains relevant for its critique of societal flaws and its idealistic vision for a more harmonious world.
