More about this artwork

The painting "Perseus And Andromeda, Study For The Doom Fulfilled" by Edward Burne-Jones depicts a dramatic mythological scene full of tension and dark, moody tones. In this study, we see two figures: Perseus and Andromeda, in a composition dominated by curving and intersecting forms, which contribute to the dynamic and somewhat ominous feeling of the artwork.On the left side of the painting, we see a back view of Perseus. He is depicted as a nude figure, eluding to classical depictions of heroes in Greek mythology. He appears calm and composed, perhaps surveying the scene or preparing for action. His posture and placement within the frame suggest readiness and resilience.To the right stands Andromeda, also portrayed in a dramatic, somewhat contorted pose, which might suggest her recent release from bonds or captivity. She is more skeletal in appearance, which could be illustrative of her suffering and the dire nature of her situation prior to being rescued. Her body language and the interaction with Perseus speak to themes of rescue, relief, and perhaps a moment of reassurance.The palette used by Burne-Jones is striking - dominated by deep blues and highlights of white, which enhance the sculptural quality of the figures and give the scene a chilling, nightmarish atmosphere.

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.
