EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite album of forty-eight drawings by the renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Measuring 20.1x13.7 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. The artwork transports viewers into a mythical realm where mythology intertwines with mesmerizing underwater scenes. A stunning mermaid, surrounded by a plethora of fish and wildlife, takes center stage as she exudes ethereal beauty and allure. Pre-Raphaelite influences are evident in every stroke of Burne-Jones' brush, capturing the essence of both siren and victim within this mythological narrative. The intricately detailed drawing depicts a male figure succumbing to his fate, drowning under the enchanting spell cast upon him by the alluring mermaid. The album itself serves as a gateway into Western art's rich history and fascination with ancient tales and legends. Each drawing tells its own story while collectively forming a cohesive narrative that captivates audiences from start to finish. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this iconic piece through their lens, allowing admirers worldwide to appreciate Burne-Jones' mastery even if they cannot physically visit the museum themselves. This print is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring love for storytelling through art across generations.
