A preparatory study by Edward Burne-Jones, this allegorical painting depicts Fame's triumph over Fortune in the artist's signature Pre-Raphaelite style. A striking and elegant addition to any space.
This striking oil on canvas is a study by the eminent Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), part of a triptych originally intended for the dining room of Buscot Park, Oxfordshire. The allegorical scene depicts Fame, a muscular nude figure, triumphantly blowing a horn, while Fortune, draped in white, reclines defeated beside her broken wheel. The composition, with its elongated figures and dreamlike atmosphere, is characteristic of Burne-Jones's aesthetic, blending classical and medieval influences. Burne-Jones was a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement, which championed 'art for art's sake' and sought beauty and sensual pleasure above all else. His works often explored mythological and literary themes, rendered in a distinctive style marked by graceful lines, muted colours, and a sense of otherworldly beauty. This study captures the artist's meticulous approach to composition and his mastery of the human form. As a fine art print, this work brings a touch of Pre-Raphaelite elegance and intellectual depth to any interior. Its muted palette and allegorical subject matter make it a sophisticated addition to a living room, study, or hallway, inviting contemplation and adding a touch of historical gravitas to your space.
