"Hope in the Prison of Despair" is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan, created in 1887. This artwork is a notable example of De Morgan's engagement with spiritual and allegorical themes, reflecting her interest in the symbolic representation of human emotions and the metaphysical concepts of hope and despair.

The painting depicts a female figure personifying Hope, seated within a dark, dungeon-like environment that represents despair. The figure is often interpreted as being trapped yet displays a serene expression, suggesting an inner resilience and the presence of hope even in the bleakest of circumstances. She is surrounded by various symbolic elements, including a lyre with broken strings and a dimly lit lamp, which further emphasize the contrast between the light of hope and the surrounding darkness of despair.

Evelyn Pickering De Morgan, born Evelyn De Morgan (1855–1919), was a prolific painter whose work frequently addressed themes of female spirituality, social progress, and the human condition. She was married to the ceramicist William De Morgan and was associated with the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement, which advocated for a return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

"Hope in the Prison of Despair" is part of a larger body of De Morgan's work that showcases her technical skill and her commitment to exploring profound philosophical and existential questions through art. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities as well as its capacity to inspire contemplation and emotional response in viewers. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Evelyn De Morgan and continues to be studied for its artistic and symbolic significance within the context of late 19th-century British art.
