More about this artwork

This intriguing painting titled "Honour's Prize" by Edward Burne-Jones is presented in a circular format, reminiscent of a traditional tondo. The artwork features mystical and symbolic elements characteristic of Burne-Jones's style. At the center of the scene is an angel, dressed in a flowing white robe that radiates a gentle luminosity. The angel holds a laurel wreath, a classic symbol of victory and honor.On the left side of the painting, partially enshrouded in shadow, sits a knight in armor. The knight appears weary or contemplative, possibly after a trial or journey, suggested by the rugged terrain and rocky backdrop around him. This figure could be interpreted as waiting to receive the wreath, which is traditionally awarded to heroes and victors, from the angel as a recognition of his deeds or virtues.The contrast between the ethereal presence of the angel and the earthly, burdened posture of the knight evokes a narrative of spiritual or moral reward.

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.
