Boreas and the Fallen Leaves 1910

Evelyn De Morgan painted "Boreas and the Fallen Leaves", and it feels like a dance of colours and forms. You've got this sense of movement with the figures and the wind. I'm really drawn to the texture, how the leaves are painted with all these warm oranges and reds, a real sense of depth in the layering, you can feel the chill of the wind whipping around the figures. Look at how the artist captures the way the light filters through the leaves, with these strokes of ochre. This piece reminds me a bit of Botticelli, with its ethereal figures. Like his, De Morgan’s work is a space of imagination and a place of beauty.
