This book focuses on Sir Edward Burne-Jones mythical paintings from 1868 to 1886. His artistic training and traveling experiences, his love for the Greek-sculptress, Maria Zambaco, and his aesthetic sensibility provided the background for these mythical paintings. This book analyzes two main concepts: Burne-Jones assimilation of Neoplatonic ideal beauty as depicted in his solo and narrative paintings, and Burne-Jones fusion of the classical and emblematic traditions in his imagery.
