A founding member 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 Painyings of graceful women, angels, gods and heroes, often in pensive poses or asleep, are dreamlike and intensely romantic. His mosaics, tapestries and stained-glass windows can be seen in many English churches, including Christ Church, Oxford, and Birmingham Cathedral.

This fascinating, scholarly and yet accessible study throws new light on the inspiration and working practices of this most romantic of artists.

‘Without Question the best introduction to the work of Burne-Jones, filled with insights and nuances. It is a delight to read from cover to cover, capturing something of the haunting tone of elegy which infuses Burne-Jones’s painting as its finest.’ – Timothy Barringer, Assistant Professor, Yale University
