Cadmus and Harmonia by Evelyn De Morgan
The Sea Maidens by Evelyn De MorganEvelyn De Morgan was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter. I like these two paintings. The top one is yet another "snake-woman" image. There are so many throughout history! Cadmus was Harmonia's husband in Greek Mythology. Read how Cadmus became a serpent. The "Sea Maidens" reminds me of my own work because the figures are all connected by their hands. It's a nice design and there is also some mysterious action going on that gives the painting it's soul.
