Evelyn de Morgan Paintings

music:Imaginary - Evanescence
Evelyn De Morgan (30 August 1855-2 May 1919) was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter.

She was born Evelyn Pickering. Her parents were of upper middle class. Her father was Percival Pickering QC, the Recorder of Pontefract. Her mother was Anna Maria Wilhelmina Spencer Stanhope, the sister of the artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope and a descendant of Coke of Norfolk who was an Earl of Leicester.

Evelyn was homeschooled and started drawing lessons when she was 15. On the morning of her seventeenth birthday, Evelyn recorded in her diary, "Art is eternal, but life is short..." "I will make up for it now, I have not a moment to lose." She went on to persuade her parents to let her go to art school. At first they discouraged it, but in 1873 she was enrolled at the Slade School of Art. Her uncle, John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, was a great influence to her works. Evelyn often visited him in Florence where he lived. This also enabled her to study the great artists of the Renaissance; she was particularly fond of the works of Botticelli. This influenced her to move away from the classical subjects favoured by the Slade school and to make her own style.

In 1887, she married the ceramicist William De Morgan. They lived together in London until he died in 1917. She died two years later on 2 May 1919 in London and was buried in Brookwood Cemetery, near Woking, Surrey.

Anna Maria Wilhelmina was her SISTER, not her mother.

And John Roddam Spencer Stanhope was her NEPHEW, not her brother.

It´s so humiliating. She is a woman and she beats the **** off my face in painting!!! And she also beats some of the great masters in my opinion. Long live your work queen!!!

btw terrible music, should have chosen Nightwish, some song from Elvenpath.

Precioso video, me encanta Evelyn de Morgan, soy una fanática de la Hermandad Prerrafaelita, y las chicas prerrafaelitas pintaban igual de bien que sus compañeros chicos.

Muchas gracias por subirlo

A ver, según las memorias de Anna Maria Wilhelmina Pickering (née Spencer Stanhope) publicadas por Rodder and Stoughton en 1903, queda claro que Anna Maria Wilhelmina Spencer Stanhope, fue la madre de Evelyn de Morgan. Y John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, fue el hermano de Ana Maria Wilhelmina Spencer Stanhope, por tanto tio, no sobrino, de Evelyn de Morgan.

Asi que es sumamente correcta la información que ha puesto Gabidra
