EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Lux in Tenebris, 1895" an oil on canvas masterpiece by Evelyn De Morgan. The painting measures 125.7x74.9 cm and is part of the esteemed De Morgan Collection, courtesy of the De Morgan Foundation. "Light in the darkness" aptly describes this dreamlike and allegorical artwork. A central figure, bathed in a heavenly glow, stands amidst a mystical landscape adorned with symbolic elements. A branch representing hope emerges from the ground while a pre-Raphaelite aesthetic permeates every brushstroke. The artist's attention to detail is evident as she skillfully portrays a crocodile lurking beneath tranquil waters—a metaphor for hidden dangers that lie beneath life's surface. An olive tree branches out behind the figure, symbolizing peace and harmony. A halo encircles the protagonist's head, emphasizing their divine nature or spiritual enlightenment amidst adversity. This ethereal presence evokes emotions of serenity and tranquility within viewers. Morgan's masterful use of color and composition transports us into an otherworldly realm where light triumphs over darkness—both literally and metaphorically. The painting invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, faith, and finding solace during challenging times. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless piece through their expert photography skills—an homage to one of history's most celebrated artists without commercial intentions but rather to preserve its artistic essence for generations to come
