Description
A woman in a long crimson robe moves through an interior of arches, marble and patterned flooring. The small vessel in her hand gives her passage a purpose, while her expression interrupts the order of the surrounding room. Evelyn De Morgan places Medea within a beautiful setting that cannot conceal the distress of the myth.
The 1889 original belongs to the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum in Birkenhead. Unlike versions that show Medea working at a ritual table, this composition follows her through an architectural space. The contrast between red fabric, pale stone and a dark geometric floor gives the picture its visual structure, with the vessel concentrating attention on an action that has yet to unfold.
Your reproduction is painted to order by hand in oil on canvas. The original work may have been painted on a different support; the medium of the original is listed separately so that the historical object and the new canvas reproduction remain clear. Choose an available size that keeps the composition in proportion, then select the presentation and framing option that suits your space.
Oil paint gives the reproduced image a physical surface with brushwork and changes of tone built in layers. The aim is to preserve the relationships that make the composition recognisable, including its arrangement of figures, important objects and balance of light and dark. It is a newly painted interpretation of the historical work, rather than a printed canvas or a mechanical transfer.
