Painting Description
"Finished Study for Earthbound" (1897) is a pre-Raphaelite artwork by the English painter Evelyn Pickering De Morgan (1855–1919). This study is a precursor to her larger, more elaborate oil painting titled "Earthbound," which vividly illustrates the spiritual struggle between the material and the ethereal. De Morgan, known for her symbolic and allegorical works, often explored themes of spirituality, feminism, and the human condition, which are evident in this piece.
The study depicts a group of human figures, entwined with heavy, earthly chains, contrasting with a solitary, winged figure that is striving towards the light above, representing the soul's aspiration for transcendence. The earthly figures are characterized by a sense of weight and inertia, symbolizing the burden of physical existence and material concerns. In contrast, the winged figure embodies the potential for spiritual liberation and enlightenment.
Evelyn De Morgan, née Pickering, was part of the second generation of Pre-Raphaelite artists, and her work was heavily influenced by her husband, the ceramicist William De Morgan, and by other prominent figures of the movement such as Edward Burne-Jones. Her paintings are notable for their use of vibrant colors, intricate detail, and the incorporation of metaphysical and mythological motifs.
"Finished Study for Earthbound" is significant as it provides insight into De Morgan's creative process, allowing viewers to trace the evolution of her ideas from study to final composition. The artwork is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be an important piece for the study of Pre-Raphaelite art and the role of female artists in the late Victorian period. As with many of her works, "Finished Study for Earthbound" reflects De Morgan's deep concern with the spiritual and moral issues of her time, which she articulated through a distinctive visual language that remains compelling to this day.
