Painting Description
"Life and Thought Emerging from the Tomb" is an oil painting created in 1893 by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan. This work is emblematic of De Morgan's fascination with spiritual themes and the metaphysical exploration of life, death, and rebirth. The painting depicts a female figure, representing 'Life,' stepping out of a tomb, symbolizing the triumph of life over death and the eternal cycle of rebirth. Beside her, an owl, often associated with wisdom and knowledge, represents 'Thought,' suggesting that intellectual enlightenment is closely tied to the understanding of life's transient nature.
Evelyn De Morgan, née Pickering, was an accomplished painter known for her association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848. Although not formally a member, her work was heavily influenced by the movement's principles, including an emphasis on detailed observation of the natural world, a fascination with medieval themes, and a penchant for bright, vivid colors. De Morgan's work often carried strong moral or feminist messages, and she frequently used mythological and allegorical subjects to express her ideas.
"Life and Thought Emerging from the Tomb" is considered one of De Morgan's more profound works, encapsulating her spiritual beliefs and her interest in theosophy, a religious movement that sought to reconcile science and religion, and which had a significant influence on her art. The painting's composition, with its ethereal quality and symbolic elements, is a testament to De Morgan's skill in blending Victorian iconography with her own unique vision.
The artwork is part of the De Morgan Collection, which is held by the De Morgan Foundation, an organization dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of the works of Evelyn De Morgan and her husband, the ceramicist William De Morgan. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of the intellectual and cultural currents of the late Victorian period, making it an important piece in the study of 19th-century British art.
