"Evelyn De Morgan (1855-1919) showed an early aptitude for drawing and, despite her parents' disapproval, she entered the Slade [School of Fine Art in London] in 1873 at the age of seventeen, where she was among the first generation of women to attend. De Morgan was the granddaughter of the artist John Spencer-Stanhope and the niece of John Rodham Spencer-Stanhope, who greatly encouraged her career and introduced her to Italian Renaissance painting, which proved a lasting influence. In 1877, still aged only twenty-one, she was invited to contribute to the first exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery, and she continued to show there until she transferred to its successor, the New Gallery. In 1887 she married the potter and novelist William De Morgan, who became a prominent figure in the decorative arts movement. The De Morgans settled at The Vale in Chelsea, where they lived until 1910, although they often wintered in Florence due to William's ill health. Financially successful in her own time, De Morgan often supported her husband's less lucrative pottery business."
