Product Description
A self-taught painter, Burne-Jones began his career relatively late, while the other Pre-Raphaelites were already in the spotlight in the English artistic world. His very personal style of art developed in a social, political and economic context that must be understood in order to appreciate the so-called primitive schools as part of the history of style. While Paris was priding itself on its great works of urbanism that were nearing completion, Victorian London of the 1870s still resembles the novels of Dickens. Burne-Jones, rejecting genre painting and the dark backgrounds of his contemporaries' historical painting, drew the inspiration for his original work from biblical, mythological and literary sources. Working meticulously and with determination, he managed to go beyond the limits inherent in the moral intentions of other artists' creations. Convinced that there was no separation between the minor arts and great art, he applied the same care to the studies he made for works designed for different supports: canvass, stained glass, sculpture, tapestry, etc. As a thread that linked the hieratic work of his early years to those more harmonious works of his later career, the poetry that emanates from them is that of an extremely personal style. His influence can be seen in the smooth lines and ornamental of elements of Art Nouveau, as well as in the aesthetics of International Symbolism up until the dawn of the 20th century. ... Read more

Product Description
Edward Burne-Jones is well known as a Pre-Raphelite painter, but little is known about his life. Here, in her first book, Penelope Fitzgerald paints a portrait of one of the most interesting and individual of all Victorian artists. Having apprenticed himself to Rossetti in 1856, and influenced by early Italian Renaissance art, Burne-Jones sought to create images of another world, "a beautiful romantic dream, of something that never was, never will be, in a light better than any that ever shone, in a land no-one can define or remember, only desire, and the forms divinely beautiful." With his paintings of mythical and medieval subjects he eventually achieved great success worldwide, and had a considerable influence on the French and Catalan Symbolists. ... Read more

Product Description
Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was a leading artist in what is often referred to as the second generation of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Inspired by medieval, classical, and biblical themes, his paintings of graceful women, angels, gods, and heroes are dreamlike and sentimental. He also designed mosaics, tapestries, and stained-glass windows for churches throughout England. This fascinating scholarly study sheds new light on the inspiration and working practices of this most romantic of artists.AUTHOR BIO: David Peters Corbett is reader in the history of art at the University of York and author of Walter Sickert in Tate's British Artists Series. ...
