EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Perseus and Andromeda" painted by the renowned artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1876. Housed in the prestigious Art Gallery of South Australia, this artwork exudes an ethereal beauty that transcends time. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from Greek mythology, where Perseus valiantly saves Andromeda from a fearsome sea monster. The scene is filled with symbolism and allegory, as love triumphs over adversity and victory emerges from darkness. Burne-Jones' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the delicate features of the nude woman Andromeda, her vulnerability juxtaposed against Perseus' heroic stance. The mythical winged horse Pegasus hovers above them, adding an element of enchantment to this poetic composition. Inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses and infused with Pre-Raphaelite influences, this painting seamlessly blends classical themes with Victorian sensibilities. Medusa's head lies at their feet as a reminder of past perils overcome. With its lyrical quality and rich colors rendered on canvas using oil paints, "Perseus and Andromeda" stands as a testament to Burne-Jones' mastery of his craft. This fine art piece invites viewers into a world where myth intertwines with reality, leaving us captivated by its timeless allure.
