Burne-Jones was closely involved in the rejuvenation of the tradition of stained glass art in England; his stained glass works include the windows of Birmingham Cathedral, St Martin's Church in Brampton, Cumbria, the church designed by Philip Webb, All Saints, Jesus Lane, Cambridge and in Christ Church College, Oxford.Burne-Jones's early paintings show the heavy inspiration of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. But, by the 1860s Burne-Jones was discovering his own artistic "voice". In 1877, he was persuaded to show eight oil paintings at the Grosvenor Gallery (a new rival to the Royal Academy), it included 'The Beguiling of Merlin.' His timing was right, and he was elevated as a herald and star of the new Aesthetic Movement.
Reviews
I have art books. Those heavy coffee table volumes, expensive and hard to drag around. I decided to try this kindle version and was delighted with the results. The ouvre of each artist is extensive and the table of contents easy to use. I wish there was a little written introduction placing the paintings in chronological order. There is no real text. The Ankele's have done a great service in presenting these painters to the kindle public.
