Beskrivning
A scene from the Briar Rose series by Edward Burne-Jones, depicting the princess and her attendants in a state of enchanted slumber.
This work belongs to the Briar Rose series, a cycle of paintings depicting the fairy tale of the Sleeping Beauty. Edward Burne-Jones spent nearly two decades refining these compositions, which draw upon the Arthurian legends and romantic literature that defined his career. The scene captures the moment of stasis within the enchanted palace, where time has ceased to move for the princess and her attendants.
The composition is structured around the horizontal form of the sleeping princess, positioned upon a raised dais. She is surrounded by figures in various states of slumber, their bodies arranged in relaxed, heavy postures. Burne-Jones employs a muted palette dominated by deep greens and earthy tones, which creates a sense of enclosure and quietude. The heavy drapery behind the figures acts as a backdrop, reinforcing the feeling of a secluded, timeless chamber. The figures are rendered with the elongated proportions and melancholic expressions characteristic of the artist's later work.
Burne-Jones avoids the dramatic action often associated with this narrative, choosing instead to focus on the atmospheric quality of the spell. The attention to detail in the textiles and the surrounding foliage reflects his interest in decorative arts and the influence of his collaboration with William Morris. The painting functions as a meditation on stillness and the suspension of reality, rather than a literal retelling of the folk tale. By removing the prince from this specific frame, the artist directs the viewer's attention to the collective experience of the sleepers, who remain caught in a dream state. This print captures the atmospheric depth and the specific tonal qualities of the original oil painting, providing a clear view of the artist's technique and his approach to mythological subjects.

The Sleeping Beauty - Edward Burne-Jones
Artist Biography
Edward Burne Jones
Though closely associated with Rossetti, Burne-Jones forged his own distinct path, drawing inspiration from Arthurian romances, classical mythology, and the burgeoning Symbolist movement. His works, such as 'The Beguiling of Merlin' and 'King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid', are not mere illustrations but rather explorations of complex emotional states and timeless human dramas. He embraced decorative arts, designing stained glass, tapestries, and mosaics, believing in the unity of art and life.
Burne-Jones's influence extended far beyond his own lifetime. His emphasis on beauty, imagination, and the evocative power of art paved the way for the Aesthetic movement and later Symbolist painters. Collecting a Burne-Jones print allows one to bring a touch of medieval romance and ethereal beauty into the everyday, a reminder of the power of art to transport and transform.
