Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1st Baronet (28 August 1833 17 June 1898) was a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, who worked closely with William Morris on a wide range of decorative arts as a founding partner in Morris, Marshall, Faulkner, and Company. Burne-Jones was closely involved in the rejuvenation of the tradition of stained glass art in England; his stained glass works include the windows of St. Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham, St Martin's Church in Brampton, Cumbria, the church designed by Philip Webb, All Saints, Jesus Lane, Cambridge and in Christ Church, Oxford.
Burne-Jones's early paintings show the heavy 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.
In addition to painting and stained glass, Burne-Jones worked in a variety of crafts; including designing ceramic tiles, jewellery, tapestries, mosaics and book illustration, most famously designing woodcuts for the Kelmscott Press's Chaucer in 1896.

  • A very much needed review of this artist's work. Alas, too many images cropped before ending. The viewer does not always have the full picture. And there simply is not enough time given to the individual images.

    The music is great, but the images are not given their due.It is a shame, because the intent was so noble.

    Thanks for your critique, but are so many beautiful paintings, which I did not want to let off any paint and the video would be too long!

  • je suis taiwanais en Asie, mais j'aime ce video et cette ecole.

  • Ai giorni trascorsi sui libri, alle ricerche senza fiato in biblioteca, al viaggio a Firenze tra biblioteche e musei, alle traduzioni forsennate e alla stesura meticolosa e sentita della mia tesi. A Burne-Jones con tutto il mio amore.

  • LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!!

  • Beautiful! Thank you, Gil!
