Death of the Dragon c. 1914

Evelyn De Morgan’s *Death of the Dragon* (c. 1914) is a Pre-Raphaelite painting that portrays a dramatic scene of divine intervention. A radiant angel with golden wings descends from the heavens, radiating light and vanquishing the evil dragons that threaten the figures below. The composition is characterized by a sense of heightened emotion and a dramatic contrast between light and darkness, embodying the triumph of good over evil. De Morgan was known for her use of rich colors, elaborate symbolism, and allegorical themes, making her work a prominent example of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
