**Study For Medea (c1889)**: A Timeless Masterpiece of Victorian Artistry
This print is a study for one of Mary Evelyn de Morgan's most renowned works, **Medea**, created in the late 19th century. De Morgan, an accomplished British artist and wife to William Frend de Morgan, was known for her exquisite portraits and figurative drawings that often drew inspiration from Greek mythology.
In this striking black chalk heightened with gold paint drawing, we see a powerful study of Medea's face - a princess-turned-witch in ancient Greek legend. The subtle play between light and shadow creates an air of mystery around the subject's features, as if she is hiding secrets beneath her gaze. De Morgan's masterful use of chiaroscuro adds depth to the portrait, drawing our attention to every delicate detail.
This print offers a glimpse into de Morgan's artistic process, showcasing her skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and form. The gold accents add an extra layer of luxury and sophistication, characteristic of Victorian artistry during this era. As part of Heritage Images' collection, **Study For Medea (c1889)** is not only a testament to de Morgan's artistic prowess but also a window into the cultural heritage that shaped her work.
This print invites us to step into the world of ancient mythology and experience the beauty and drama that Mary Evelyn de Morgan brought forth in her art.
