More about this artwork

"Arbor Tristis" by Edward Burne-Jones is a captivating artwork that combines elements of mysticism and naturalism within a simple yet profound composition. Set within a round frame, the painting primarily depicts a tree centered on a rocky base within a mystical landscape enveloped by an atmosphere of twilight or dusk.The tree itself is stark, with occasional branches reaching out, yet it lacks leaves, suggesting a sense of desolation or dormancy. It emerges from a layered platform that can be interpreted as carved from stone, giving it a feeling of aged permanence. Surprisingly, the background is filled with tall, slender forms resembling skyscrapers but stylized in a way that makes them seem more like illuminated monoliths in a deserted urban setting.The contrast between the organic form of the tree and the geometric verticality of the background creates a spatial and narrative depth.

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.
