The Top 5 Painting Exhibitions to see in London this Winter

Black history, cakes, lost paintings, repose and hands.
Evelyn De Morgan (1855–1919, London, UK) brought a luminous, mystical edge to late Victorian painting. Working within and beyond the Pre-Raphaelite circle, she crafted allegorical scenes filled with ethereal figures, glowing palettes, and a symbolic language shaped by spiritualism, feminism, and a deep moral imagination. Her subjects—women in states of transformation, liberation, or quiet resolve—radiate a sense of inner power. Meticulous yet otherworldly, De Morgan’s work turns myth and metaphor into vessels for hope, resistance, and the pursuit of light.
