Edward Burne Jones @ Wikipedia
Edward Burne-Jones experienced his childhood in industrial Birmingham and began his artistic career parallel to school. He decided to study theology. Here he met the future designer
William Morris know, both became friends and broke off the study together. They devoted themselves to the arts and worked together in partnership. In the Pre-Raphaelite circle, Burne-Jones found his spiritual home and became one of the most important representatives of the artist group.
But Edward Burne-Jones wanted more than just a rendition of a motive, art should enter life and home. He was not only an artist, but also a craftsman and with this approach he is regarded as the founder of the arts and crafts. Contrary to the gray environment of the industry he created a world of fairy tales, legends and legends. After literary models he created glass windows, ceramic plates, furniture and tapestries. Together with his companion Morris, he is considered the founder of modern design.
His interpretation Sleeping Beauty of the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty, as well as the depictions of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are detailed.
The figure of Venus reflected in the water in Mirror of Venus shows the weakness that the designer has developed for mythological themes.
