Item Number: 128315 Title: Edward BURNE-JONES' Mythical Paintings : The Pygmalion of the Pre-Raphaelite Painters Author: Cheney, Liana De Girolami Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781433118761 Description: New York: Lang, 2014. 23cm., hardcover, 270pp. illus. Summary: This book focuses on Sir Edward Burne-Jones’ 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-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.
