Description
"Unchained" combines Evelyn de Morgan's painting "Hope in the Prison of Despair" with a pose from Auguste Rodin's "Crouching Woman."
Evelyn de Morgan recognized, "Art is eternal, but life is short�I have not a moment to lose." And, mentored by her mother-in-law�a spiritualist and social activist�de Morgan sought new heroines with which to construct original images of Victorian womanhood. Her "Hope in the Prison of Despair" preceded the first English suffragette society by a decade.
(Excerpt from the book "Revisiting the Classics.")
