"The Ivory Gate" is a painting by Henry Meynell Rheam, an English painter known for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and for his works in the symbolist and fairy painting genres. Created in 1909, this artwork delves into themes of dreams and reality, inspired by the ancient concept that dreams pass through two gates: one of ivory, which carries false dreams, and one of horn, through which true dreams pass. Rheam's painting captures this allegorical narrative through a visually striking composition that blends elements of fantasy with meticulous detail characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style.

The painting depicts a serene and ethereal scene where a figure, often interpreted as a personification of a dream or a guardian of the mystical gate, stands before the ivory gate itself. The use of light, color, and texture in the painting creates a dreamlike quality that invites viewers to ponder the nature of dreams and their significance in human life. Rheam's attention to detail, from the intricate patterns on the gate to the delicate features of the figure, showcases his skill and dedication to the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, despite working at a time when the movement was considered to have waned.

"The Ivory Gate" is celebrated for its technical excellence, its rich symbolism, and its ability to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection. It remains a significant work within Rheam's oeuvre and continues to be appreciated by art enthusiasts and scholars for its contribution to the late Victorian and Edwardian art scenes. The painting is not only a testament to Rheam's mastery of his medium but also a reflection of the period's fascination with mythology, dreams, and the boundaries between the real and the imagined.
