BURNE-JONES All Colour Paperback

Burne-Jones worked as a designer of a wide range of crafts including ceramic tiles, jewellery, tapestries, and mosaics. Among his most significant and lasting designs are those for stained glass windows the production of which was a revived craft during the 19th century. The ethereal land of day-dreams and reverie, of beauty, love and melancholy is revealed in the art of Burne-Jones. Turning away from the reality of the nineteenth century technology he depicted instead the images of his imagination and found the legions and fables of the past and in the works of the romantic poets matter more congenial to the painters brush than in the everyday world in which he was forced to live. In his paintings, tapestries and stained glass he evoked languid beauty and a dreamy nostalgia for a lost Golden Age of damozels and knights-errant, the heroes and heroines of romance. 48 Full color illustrations of beautiful figures, many of them spiritual, depicting angels and other biblical images. Included are 4 Black and white 6x9 loose copies of images from the  article: Pre-Raphaelite Mansion (Arts & Crafts - Burne-Jones, Rossetti). Out of Print. Condition: Fine.
