About This Item
Putnam, 1973., 1973. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dj. Folio, hardcover, very good in brown boards with gilt lettering on spine. No dj. Clean, unmarked, well preserved from 1973. 209 pages.including index. 350 illustrations, 50 in colour. Burne-Jones was involved in the rejuvenation of the tradition of stained glass art in Britain. Burne-Jones's early paintings show the 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). These included The Beguiling of Merlin. The timing was right and he was taken up as a herald and star of the new Aesthetic Movement. Burne-Jones worked in crafts; including designing ceramic tiles, jewellery, tapestries and mosaics.
