Evelyn and William De Morgan have been described as ‘two of the rarest spirits of the age’.   Evelyn’s paintings bear the influence of early Italian Renaissance art as well as that of her Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries, yet have a distinctive style.  In addition, her paintings projected her political concerns, and she created many pictures in response […]
