August 30, 1855: English artist Evelyn De Morgan is born.

Evelyn was a follower of Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones, and her style is very reminiscent of his.

"Art is eternal, but life is short."

🎨 Evelyn De Morgan, "Hope in the Prison of Despair", 1887

Artist copy of "Paolo and Francesca" by Frank Dicksee, 1894. I LOVE the romanticism in pre-raphaelite art... Although this painting is based off of real people from the 1200's who were involved in quite the scandal 👀
