Sir Edward Coley (1833-
1898)

|
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones is probably the
most recognized and influential of the Pre-Raphaelite artists
of the middle and late 19th century Préraphaélites,
(John Everett Millais, Gabriel Dante Rossetti et William Morris...)
who idealized medieval life in imaginary ethereal scenes. His
work is characterized by the unique look of the women who feature
prominently in virtually every piece, by his vivid use of color
and his fondness for architectural frames and backgrounds.
His women are fit the classic Pre-Raphaelite model of fine features,
high cheekbones and abundant, curly red or brown hair, almost
always draped in intricate classical gowns. Burne-Jones was strongly
influenced by the artistic styles of the Italian Reniassance and
by the aesthetic ideas of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
