      Edward Burne Jones - Maria Peitcheva

      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. In addition to painting and stained glass, Burne-Jones worked in a variety of crafts; including designing ceramic tiles, jewellery, tapestries, mosaics and book illustration.

      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 not stay to take a degree.

      In London in the mid 1850s he met his artistic hero Rossetti, who became his mentor, and they were friends until Rossetti's death in 1882. He also met Holman Hunt. Jones then moved to London, sharing rooms with Morris. He assisted Rossetti in the creation of the unsuccessful mural at the Oxford Union. In 1860 Jones married Georgiana MacDonald, one of the remarkable Macdonald sisters. Another
