    About this ebook

    Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, (1833 –1898) was a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He was closely involved in the renewal of the tradition of stained glass art in Britain. In addition to painting and stained glass, Burne-Jones worked in a variety of crafts and book illustration. He produced a vast amount of work throughout his career, achieved great success in his day and was influential on a number of movements such as the French Symbolists. Burne-Jones was an idealist, he was in pursuit of perfection and this quest led him to the days of knights and maidens. There is a sensuous beauty in his finest works, and it is this which ensures his work continues to be popular. Burne-Jones's aim in art is best given in some of his own words, written to a friend:

    "I mean by a picture a beautiful, romantic dream of something that never was, never will be - in a light better than any light that ever shone - in a land no one can define or remember, only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful - and then I wake up, with the waking of Brynhild."

      Edward Burne Jones - Blagoy Kiroff

      Watercolours

      Foreword

      Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, (1833 –1898) was a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, who worked closely with William Morris on a wide range of decorative arts as a founding partner in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner, and Company. Burne-Jones was closely involved in the rejuvenation of the tradition of stained glass art in Britain.

      He was born in Bennetts Hill in central Birmingham the 28th August 1833. His mother died within a week of his birth, and his distressed father was unable to physically touch his son as a result. He was brought up by a rather severe Low Church housekeeper. From an early age, therefore, Burne-Jones created his own dream world, to make up for his bleak and unhappy personal circumstances. This dream world lasted all his life, and in his paintings. He attended King Edwardian's Grammar School in Birmingham, where he was a successful pupil academically, and in his last year was head boy. He also attended art classes. Edward Jones, as he then was, became a devout Christian.

      He went to Exeter College at the University of Oxford in 1853, and his intention was to take Holy Orders. Here he met his lifelong friend William Morris. Here they first heard of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They jointly developed a fascination with Arthurian legend. Edward Jones became an agnostic, and art replaced religion in his life. Jones did
