Evelyn Paul (1883-1963) was an English artist associated with the Golden Age of
Illustration. She is, perhaps, best known for her work as an illuminator.
The Evelyn Paul Collection at Spirit of the Ages
includes art images from some of her seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.
Paul illustrations - often accompanying her
illuminations - were influenced by a variety of styles including Gothic Revival,
Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts. Among individual artists that may have provided
significant influence to her style is the noted the Pre-Raphaelite, Dante
Gabriel Rossetti.
Her most famous work appeared in titles including
Stories from Dante, The Romance
of Tristram of Lyones and La beale Isoude,
Dante's La Vita Nuova, Aucassin & Nicolete and Clair de Lune
and Other Troubadour Romances.
