Edward Burne-Jones' Mythical Paintings: The Pygmalion of the Pre-Raphaelite Painters

By Liana Cheney

This book focuses on Sir Edward Burne-Jones' mythical paintings from 1868 to 1886 and analyzes two main concepts: Burne-Jones' assimilation of Neoplatonic ideal beauty as depicted in his solo and narrative paintings, and Burne-Jones' fusion of the classical and emblematic traditions in his imagery.
