"Night and Sleep" is an oil painting created in 1878 by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan (1855–1919). This artwork is a notable example of De Morgan's early work and reflects her interest in spiritual and allegorical themes, which were influenced by her association with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and her own spiritual beliefs. The painting depicts the personifications of Night, represented as a winged figure cloaked in darkness, and Sleep, shown as a serene, slumbering character enveloped by Night's embrace.

The composition of "Night and Sleep" is characterized by its ethereal quality and the use of rich, symbolic imagery that was typical of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. De Morgan's use of color, delicate brushwork, and attention to detail underscore the mystical and dreamlike atmosphere of the painting. The figures are set against a backdrop that suggests a celestial or otherworldly realm, reinforcing the painting's exploration of the metaphysical concepts of rest and the subconscious.

Evelyn De Morgan, born Evelyn Pickering, was an accomplished painter who pursued art education at the Slade School of Fine Art at a time when it was uncommon for women to attend art school. Her marriage to the ceramicist William De Morgan, who was also associated with the Arts and Crafts Movement, further embedded her within a network of artists and intellectuals who valued art's potential for moral and social commentary.

"Night and Sleep" is emblematic of De Morgan's broader body of work, which often challenged traditional Victorian values and explored themes of female empowerment, social justice, and spiritualism. The painting is held in a private collection, and its influence can be seen in the context of De Morgan's later works, which continued to evolve in complexity and thematic depth. As with many of her paintings, "Night and Sleep" invites viewers to consider the interplay between the material world and the spiritual, a subject that remained central to De Morgan's artistic vision throughout her career.
