About the piece
Created in 1878 by Edward Burne-Jones, this painting is the third in his celebrated series based on the myth of Pygmalion. The work captures the moment the goddess Aphrodite breathes life into the sculptor's creation, characterized by the artist's signature ethereal lighting, elongated forms, and a soft, melancholic palette that epitomizes the late Pre-Raphaelite style.
