Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones Biographyprofessional name of EDWARD COLEY JONES(1833-1898) English painter, designer, and illustrator Born in Birmingham and educated at the University of Oxford. Trained by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones shared the Pre-Raphaelites' concern with restoring to art what they considered the purity of form, stylization, and high moral tone of medieval painting and design. Edward Burne-Jones paintings, inspired by medieval, classical, and biblical themes, are noted for their sentimentality and dreamlike romanticized style; they are generally considered among the finest Edward Burne-Jones paintings of the Pre-Raphaelite school. They include King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid (1884, Tate Gallery, London). |
