Hope in a Prison of Despair (1887) by Evelyn De Morgan is a vintage Victorian Era Pre-Raphaelite mythology fine art portrait painting. Hope's saint-like halo suggests the comfort brought by religious faith. Hope as a very young man, or possibly a woman, is holding a lamp and entering the dungeon where Despair is shown as another human figure bowed down with deep sadness and grief. About the artist: Evelyn De Morgan (Evelyn Pickering) (1855-1919) was an English PreRaphaelite painter who often painted mythological scenes.
