Edward Burne-Jones
Edward Coley Burne-Jones (Birmingham, August 28, 1833 - London, June 17, 1898) was an English artist and designer associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, and chiefly responsible for bringing the Pre-Raphaelites into the mainstream of British art and , at the same time, producing some of the most exquisite and beautiful works of art of the time.
Burne-Jones was the son of a gilder-carver from Bennetts Hill, where a blue plaque commemorates his birth. His mother died within six days of his birth, and he was raised by his father and an unkind housekeeper.
In 1855 he entered Rossetti's workshop, but his own style appeared influenced by his travels to Italy with Ruskin and others. He pretended to be a churchman, but under the influence of Morris he became an artist and designer. After Oxford, where he received no degree, he became heavily involved in the revival of stained glass art in England.
he was taken as herald and star of the new "Aesthetic Movement".
In addition to painting, he investigated the possibilities of crafts, which showed design for interior decorations, ceramic tiles, jewelry, tapestries, rugs, wallpaper, furniture, book illustration (the Chaucer of Kelmscott Press in 1896), and clothing. theatrical. He stood out in the elaboration of stained glass windows on classical themes, such as those made for the Colegio de San Andrés de Bradfield. Later, he made more stained glass windows in collaboration with William Morris.
Burne-Jones exerted a considerable influence on British painting, as can be seen in an extensive exhibition held in 1989 at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. A book of hers was published: John Christian, The Last Romantics, (1989). Burne-Jones was also very predominant among the French symbolist painters, from 1889. In fact, he is usually considered as the second generation of Pre-Raphaelite painters or, directly, as a symbolist.
His work also inspired Swinburne's poetry - his Poems & Ballads (1886) is dedicated to Burne-Jones.
His son Philip (1861–1926) was a successful portrait painter.
