Painting Description
"The Worship of Mammon" is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Evelyn Pickering De Morgan, created in 1909. This allegorical work reflects De Morgan's interest in spiritual and moral issues, as well as her engagement with the social and economic questions of her time. The painting depicts Mammon, the biblical symbol of greed and material wealth, as a monstrous figure surrounded by desperate individuals who are entranced by the allure of gold and riches. The central figure of Mammon is shown seated on a throne, exuding an aura of power and corruption, while the human figures around him represent the various ways in which people are ensnared by the pursuit of wealth.
Evelyn De Morgan, born Evelyn Pickering, was a prolific painter whose work often contained strong social commentary and feminist themes. She was married to the ceramicist William De Morgan and was associated with the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. "The Worship of Mammon" is a prime example of De Morgan's mature style, characterized by its vivid use of color, intricate symbolism, and thought-provoking subject matter.
The painting serves as a critique of materialism and the moral decay it can engender. De Morgan's use of religious iconography and her adaptation of traditional themes to address contemporary issues are hallmarks of her artistic approach. "The Worship of Mammon" is emblematic of her broader body of work, which frequently explored the tension between the spiritual and the material, as well as the role of women in society.
"The Worship of Mammon" is held in a private collection, but it has been exhibited on various occasions, allowing the public to engage with its powerful message. As with many of De Morgan's paintings, this work has been studied for its rich symbolism and its reflection of the artist's personal convictions and the social dynamics of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.
