More about this artwork

In the painting titled "Most Bitter Moonseed" from Edward Burne-Jones' *The Flower Book*, we observe a captivating and somewhat melancholic scene. This artwork, presented in a circular format, illustrates a solitary cloaked figure standing in a sparse landscape under a broad, expansive sky. The figure's posture —bowed head and drooping wings— conveys a sense of deep sorrow or resignation.The tone and color palette Burne-Jones uses are mostly muted, with dominant shades of blue and earth tones that enhance the overall somber mood of the image. The texture in the background suggests a windswept field or barren landscape, emphasizing the element of isolation.Additionally, the title "Most Bitter Moonseed" evokes a sensation of something that is both beautiful yet potentially harmful, like the plant that bears toxic berries. This duality mirrors in the painting through its aesthetic appeal intertwined with an undeniable feeling of sadness or bitterness.Edward Burne-Jones, known for his connections with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and his evocative mythological and literary themes, here continues to delve into deep emotions and complex narratives, capturing a moment that feels both timeless and steeped in introspective significance.

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.
