EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, we are transported to the mythical world of Pygmalion and the Image as depicted by English painter Edward Burne-Jones. The photograph captures a print of "The Soul Attains" one of four paintings created by Burne-Jones between 1869 and 1879. Stepping into the scene, we witness the moment when Pygmalion, portrayed on the left side, returns home to an astonishing sight. His meticulously sculpted statue has miraculously come to life, kneeling gracefully at his feet. The contrast between their states - one made of stone and the other flesh - is strikingly captured in this monochromatic composition. The sculpture's naked form is draped with a flowing robe or toga, adding an ethereal touch to her newfound existence. As she kneels before him, her presence exudes both vulnerability and strength. The architectural elements surrounding them further enhance the mystique of this artwork. A grand doorway frames their encounter while a staircase leads us deeper into their story. Through Burne-Jones' masterful brushstrokes or rather through this printed reproduction, we can almost hear whispers echoing within these walls. "The Soul Attains" invites us into a realm where art intertwines with mythology and storytelling takes center stage. It serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' ability to capture emotion through his paintbrush while paying homage to Ovid's timeless tale.
