Description: | This painting illustrates a poem by Henry Longfellow set in an imaginary 18th century world. Evangeline and her lover Gabriel are shown comforting each other as their families are driven from their idyllic home in Arcadia by English troops. The crisp detail and bright colouring of the picture show the influence of Pre-Raphaelite painting. Henry Hetherington Emmerson was one of several North East artists who were taught Pre-Raphaelite techniques by William Bell Scott at the Government School of Design in Newcastle. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | art movement art women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
