EDITORS COMMENTS
Perseus and the Graiae, 1875-78 (mixed media) by Edward Coley Burne-Jones is a captivating masterpiece that transports viewers to the mythical world of ancient Greece. This extraordinary print captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of the original artwork, showcasing Burne-Jones' exceptional talent as a pre-Raphaelite artist. Measuring an impressive 170.2x153.2 cm, this piece is a true testament to Burne-Jones' dedication and skill. Created using gold leaf, silver leaf, oil, and gesso on paper, it exudes a sense of opulence and grandeur that befits its subject matter. The painting depicts Perseus, one of Greek mythology's most renowned heroes, encountering the Graiae - three elderly sisters who share one eye between them. The composition beautifully captures Perseus kneeling before these mysterious figures in a moment of intense focus and determination. Burne-Jones' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate folds of fabric to the ethereal expressions on each character's face. The use of mixed media adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact. This stunning print is housed at National Museum Wales as part of their esteemed collection. It serves as a reminder not only of Burne-Jones' artistic prowess but also his contribution to the pre-Raphaelite movement which sought inspiration from medieval art and literature. With its timeless beauty and narrative richness, "Perseus and the Graiae" continues to captivate audiences today just as it did when first created over a century ago.
