Description
Edward Burne-Jones was an artist who created beautiful, romantic dreams of something that never was. His life is a fascinating story of artistic genius and personal struggle.
Born in Birmingham in 1833, Burne-Jones grew up to become the prototypical Pre-Raphaelite, but with his own unique sensibility. This biography charts his journey from humble beginnings to his apprenticeship with Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which shaped his artistic vision.
Penelope Fitzgerald's portrait of Burne-Jones is an illuminating and sympathetic exploration of a complex figure - an artist who found solace in his work, but struggled with personal demons. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in art and the Victorian era.
