Description
Tutored by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was one of the leading artists in what is often referred to as the second generation of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Inspired by medieval, classical and biblical themes, Burne-Jones's paintings of graceful women, angels, gods and heroes, often in pensive or sad poses or asleep are dreamlike, romantic and sentimental. He also designed mosaics, tapestries and stained-glass windows that can be seen in many English churches, including Christ Church, Oxford, and Birmingham Cathedral. This fascinating, scholarly study throws new light on the inspiration and working practices of this most romantic of artists.
