Lux in Tenebris c. 1895

Evelyn De Morgan's "Lux in Tenebris" (c. 1895) is a Pre-Raphaelite painting featuring a female figure radiating light against a dark background, signifying the triumph of light over darkness. The central figure, cloaked in white and holding a sprig of olive, evokes a sense of peace and hope. The dramatic use of light and shadow adds to the painting's symbolic nature. De Morgan's work often explored themes of spirituality, mythology, and women's roles in society.
