More about this artwork

In "The Briar Rose Series - Study for 'The Garden Court'" by Edward Burne-Jones, we see a highly detailed and emotive painting that forms part of a larger series dedicated to the story of Sleeping Beauty. This particular study focuses on a single figure, presumably one of the maidens affected by the enchantment that has put the entire court to sleep.The figure is depicted from behind, giving the viewer a feeling of both intimacy and mystery. She sits on the ground, her body relaxed in slumber against a textured golden backdrop that suggests a luxurious, albeit dormant, environment. Her dress is richly colored in shades of deep blue and gray, flowing loosely around her, indicative of the Pre-Raphaelite style's attention to naturalism and detail in clothing and drapery.Her posture and the serene setting contribute to a palpable sense of stillness and quiet, which is characteristic of the enchanted sleep theme. The artwork is rectangular, with the maiden positioned off-center, leaning against what appears to be a column. The backdrop features faint sketches of briar roses, tying in the title and theme of the series.

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.
