EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Sisyphus". Measuring 23.6x23.6 cm, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of effort and struggle in Greek mythology. The Pre-Raphaelite artist skillfully combines pencil, bodycolour, gold, and gum arabic on a prepared ground to create a visually stunning circular composition. At the center of the image stands Sisyphus himself, depicted as a muscular male figure pushing an immense boulder uphill. This iconic mythological character is forever condemned to repeat this arduous task as punishment for his deceitfulness towards the gods. The weight of the rock symbolizes life's burdens and challenges that we all face daily. Burne-Jones masterfully portrays Sisyphus' nakedness, emphasizing vulnerability and exposing his raw determination amidst adversity. The roundel format adds depth to the narrative by highlighting Sisyphus' eternal struggle within a confined space. The use of gold accents further enhances its mythical quality and draws attention to every intricate detail. This thought-provoking artwork invites viewers to reflect upon their own struggles and perseverance in life's never-ending cycle. It serves as a reminder that even in our most difficult moments, there is beauty in resilience. Displayed here from a private collection with permission from Bridgeman Images, this print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate Burne-Jones' exceptional talent while immersing themselves in ancient Greek mythology's timeless themes.
