{"product_id":"the-fall-of-lucifer-edward-burne-jones","title":"The Fall of Lucifer - Edward Burne-Jones","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed reproduction of Edward Burne-Jones's late-period work, depicting the expulsion of the rebellious angels with characteristic linear grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdward Burne-Jones produced this work during the final decade of his career, a period marked by his return to themes of cosmic order and divine hierarchy. The composition depicts the expulsion of the rebellious angels from heaven, a subject that allowed the artist to explore his interest in medieval iconography and the decorative potential of the human form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual arrangement is vertical, reflecting the influence of stained glass design, which Burne-Jones frequently practised. At the top, the celestial host appears in a dense, swirling mass, their forms merging into a singular movement of descent. Below, the archangel Michael stands in a posture of calm authority, his armour rendered with metallic precision. The figures are elongated, a characteristic feature of the artist's mature style, which prioritises linear grace over anatomical realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is framed by Latin text, which serves as a structural border and provides a narrative context for the scene. This integration of calligraphy and image is typical of the artist's approach to book illustration and decorative arts. The palette is dominated by muted blues, greys, and earthy tones, which contribute to the sombre, otherworldly atmosphere of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurne-Jones avoids the dramatic chiaroscuro often associated with this subject in Renaissance art, opting instead for a flatter, more rhythmic distribution of figures. The repetition of the angels' wings and the rhythmic alignment of their bodies create a sense of orderly chaos. This print captures the fine details of the original watercolour and gouache, preserving the texture of the brushwork and the subtle variations in tone that define the artist's late period. It is a representative example of his ability to synthesise classical mythology and Christian theology into a singular, decorative vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/penelope-dante-gabriel-rossetti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePenelope - Dante Gabriel Rossetti — Dante Gabriel Rossetti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-knight-errant-john-everett-millais\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Knight Errant - John Everett Millais — John Everett Millais\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edward Burne-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836317438287,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836350927183,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836350959951,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836350992719,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58836351025487,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Fall-of-Lucifer_Poster_CompositorV1_1789944450684.jpg?v=1789946302","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-fall-of-lucifer-edward-burne-jones","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
