This book focuses on Sir Edward Burne-Jonesâ mythical paintings from 1868 to 1886. His artistic training and traveling experiences, his love for the Greek-sculptress, Maria Zambaco, and his aesthetic sensibility provided the background for these mythical paintings. This book analyzes two main concepts: Burne-Jonesâ assimilation of Neoplatonic ideal beauty as depicted in his solo and narrative paintings, and Burne-Jonesâ fusion of the classical and emblematic traditions in his imagery.
