About the piece
Painted in 1884, this work by Edward Burne-Jones illustrates a scene from 'The Romance of the Rose,' a medieval French poem. The painting is a signature example of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, featuring rich jewel tones, elongated figures, and an evocative, mysterious landscape that exemplifies the romantic and scholarly interests of the late 19th-century British avant-garde.
