More about this artwork

"Saturn's Loathing" from The Flower Book by Edward Burne-Jones features an intriguing and mystical scene depicted within a circular frame. The illustration shows a moment captured in a wild, natural setting, dominated by swatches of golden and brown hues suggesting a field of wheat. Three raven-like creatures are at the center of this composition. These birds don intricate garments, adding a sense of anthropomorphism and fantasy. Their faces are partially obscured, possibly by masks, adding to the mysteriousness of the scene.Two of the birds are outfitted like knights, adorned in medieval-style armor that glints with metallic shades, equipped with spears that they wield adeptly. The environment is rugged, with a distant mountainous background under a pale blue sky, suggesting a setting that is both ancient and removed from the human world.The thematic elements and the title "Saturn’s Loathing" may symbolize deeper, possibly darker themes, perhaps alluding to the mythological figure of Saturn, known for his complex and often grim stories in Roman myth.

Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was a British designer and Victorian narrative painter. He was born in Birmingham to a picture-framer. He intended to become a minister and studied theology at Oxford. However, his life took a turn when he met William Morris. Together they formed The Brotherhood, a society worshipping the poets and architecture of the middle ages. They both worked together on several projects for Morris & Co. Burne-Jones designed tapestries, jewellery, sculptures, ceramics, furniture and stained glass for the company. His artworks truly captured the spirit of the nineteenth century and the Arts and Crafts movement. In recent decades his art has had a renaissance and become among the most expensive pre-raphaelite artworks to be sold at auction.
