A major new series of monographs on the lives and careers of influential British artists, from the eighteenth century onwards.
‘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 at its finest.’ Timothy Barringer, Assistant Professor, Yale University
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 paintings 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.
David Peters Corbett is Reader in History of Art at the University of York and has published widely on English art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He is author of Walter Sickert in the British Artists series.
