About the Artwork
Painted during De Morgan's most productive period in the mid-1880s, this canvas emerged when the artist was establishing herself as a leading voice in the second generation of Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood adherents. Working from her studio in Chelsea, De Morgan created this allegory during a time when she was exploring themes of spiritual transformation and the tension between earthly love and divine purpose; the painting reflects her deep engagement with Renaissance imagery and her husband William De Morgan's interest in classical mythology. Love's Passing exemplifies De Morgan's unique position within Victorian art as a woman artist who could command both technical excellence and profound symbolic content, creating works that resonated with contemporary audiences while challenging conventional narratives about feminine artistic capability.
