Moonbeams dipping into the sea by Evelyn de Morgan. Personification of the triple goddess perhaps. Three female nudes linking the moon to the tides.
The personification of dusk and the moon was a recurring motif in Evelyn’s later works – often against a calm seascape. In ancient lore, the moon is associated with fertility and the cycle of life and is often portrayed by a triple goddess whose three incarnations are maiden, mother and crone. However, in this painting, the three delicately composed female nudes are all beautiful young women - ArtUK.
