About the piece
Painted in 1878 by Edward Burne-Jones, this work is the final scene in his 'Pygmalion and the Image' series. It captures the poignant moment when the statue, Galatea, comes to life, and the sculptor Pygmalion kneels in awe and devotion. The piece exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite focus on luminous color, elegant form, and romanticized classical themes, making it a sophisticated addition to any collection.
