Painting Description
"By the Waters of Babylon" is an oil painting created by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan between 1882 and 1883. The artwork is a testament to De Morgan's skill and her engagement with the themes of spirituality and biblical narratives that were prevalent among the Pre-Raphaelites. The painting depicts a scene inspired by the Psalm 137 of the Hebrew Bible, which expresses the sorrow of the Israelites during their exile in Babylon and their yearning for the lost city of Jerusalem.
In this work, De Morgan portrays the exiled figures in a state of mourning by the riverside, capturing the essence of their grief and longing for their homeland. The composition is rich with symbolic elements and reflects the artist's interest in mysticism and allegory. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail are characteristic of De Morgan's style, which often combined classical and mythological subjects with a distinctive aesthetic influenced by her association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
Evelyn De Morgan, born Evelyn Pickering, was an accomplished painter who pursued art education at a time when it was uncommon for women to do so. She married the ceramicist William De Morgan and became part of a circle of artists and intellectuals. Her work is notable for its engagement with feminist themes and social commentary, alongside its spiritual and mythological subjects.
"By the Waters of Babylon" is considered an important piece in De Morgan's oeuvre, reflecting her personal convictions and the broader artistic movements of her time. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of Victorian art and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
