The Task of the Gold-wooled Sheep, 1866
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut print that transports us to the mythical world of Greek love and trials. This intricate artwork, measuring 10.4x8.2 cm, was designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for "The Tale of Cupid & Psyche" and skillfully cut in woodblock by William Morris in 1866. In this scene, we witness a powerful confrontation between two mythological figures - Cupid and Psyche. The frightened woman stands on a riverbank surrounded by reeds as she faces her daunting task: retrieving golden wool from sheep with sharp horns. The monochrome palette adds an ethereal quality to the image while emphasizing the intensity of the moment. Burne-Jones's pre-Raphaelite style shines through with his attention to detail and classical influences. The composition exudes both beauty and fear as Psyche embarks on her quest, symbolizing human vulnerability confronted with divine challenges. This print captures not only a pivotal moment in mythology but also showcases the talent and collaboration between two renowned artists of their time – Burne-Jones and Morris. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from a private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of ancient tales brought to life through artistry. Courtesy of Julian Hartnoll Gallery, this print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the rich symbolism embedded within this masterpiece without commercial use distractions or limitations.
