EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Irish harp" created in 1889 by Edward Coley Burne-Jones. The artwork, rendered in pencil, pen & ink, and watercolor on paper, measures 18.4x23.5 cm and is held in a private collection. The ornate design of the harp immediately catches the eye, with its intricate carvings and zoomorphic elements. A majestic lion's head adorns the top of the instrument, adding a touch of regality to its appearance. This medieval-inspired musical instrument embodies the rich cultural heritage of Ireland and Celtic traditions. Notably inscribed on the harp are the words "Ego sum regina musarum" meaning "I am queen of muses". These words were meticulously crafted by Cormick O'Kelly for Captain Arth Magenis back in 1711, further enhancing this piece's historical significance. The inclusion of serpent-like snakes entwined around the wooden frame adds an element of mystique to this already enchanting composition. Symbolizing rebirth and transformation, these reptilian creatures bring life to this artistic depiction. Edward Coley Burne-Jones masterfully captures both beauty and functionality through his portrayal of this traditional Irish harp. As we gaze upon this painting turned photograph print from Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where music intertwines with history and culture – reminding us that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes
