EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Garden of Hesperides, 1901" an etching printed on vellum by the talented artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Measuring at 55.2x46.3 cm, this exquisite piece is held in a private collection. Derived from a c. 1870 gouache original and engraved by Jules Simon Payrau, this artwork depicts the mythical Garden of the Hesperides from Greek mythology. This enchanting orchard was owned by Hera and bore golden apples that granted immortality to those who consumed them. The garden was guarded diligently by Hesperides nymphs and Ladon, a hundred-headed dragon that never slept. Intriguingly, one of these precious fruits played a significant role in Hercules' Eleventh Labour when he stole it from the garden. The image portrays three beautiful nymphs encircling an apple tree while draped in flowing robes, exuding youthful charm and blissful serenity. With its sensual portrayal of classical mythology intertwined with elements of nature, this monochrome masterpiece embodies the pre-Raphaelite style for which Burne-Jones is renowned. The inclusion of snakes adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. This print captures not only the beauty but also the rich symbolism behind this mythological tale—a true testament to Burne-Jones' artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into fantastical realms where reality intertwines seamlessly with imagination.
