"Demeter Mourning for Persephone" (1906) is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan. The artwork captures the mythological theme of Demeter, the ancient Greek goddess of the harvest and agriculture, in a state of deep sorrow over the abduction of her daughter Persephone by Hades, the god of the underworld. This narrative, central to Greek mythology, reflects the seasonal cycle of growth and decay, emblematic of the changing seasons.

Evelyn De Morgan, born Evelyn Pickering, was an English painter whose works are noted for their spiritual symbolism, vivid use of color, and adherence to Pre-Raphaelite principles of detailed naturalism. In "Demeter Mourning for Persephone," De Morgan employs her characteristic style to convey the emotional depth of the myth. The painting is rich in symbolic elements, with Demeter often depicted amidst a barren landscape, signifying the goddess's grief halting the fertility of the earth during winter months.

The work is part of a broader collection of De Morgan's paintings that explore themes of female spirituality, empowerment, and the metaphysical. Her interest in spiritualism and theosophy often influenced her choice of subject matter, leading her to reinterpret classical myths through a lens that emphasized the inner life and struggles of her subjects.

"Demeter Mourning for Persephone" is considered an important work in De Morgan's oeuvre, showcasing her mature style and thematic preoccupations. It is a testament to her skill in blending classical themes with personal and contemporary concerns, and it remains an evocative representation of maternal love and loss. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries that celebrate the work of Pre-Raphaelite artists and their successors.
