Edward Burne-Jones' 'Morning Glories' is a serene watercolour from 'The Flower Book', depicting ethereal figures in a dreamlike landscape. This fine art print brings Pre-Raphaelite elegance and a touch of Victorian symbolism to any room.
This ethereal watercolour, 'Morning Glories', is from 'The Flower Book' (1905), a collection of 38 watercolour designs by the celebrated Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. Each image was inspired by the name of a flower, reflecting the Victorian interest in the 'language of flowers'. Burne-Jones, a key figure in the Aesthetic Movement, was deeply influenced by medieval art and mythology, often imbuing his works with a dreamlike quality. 'Morning Glories' depicts a group of slender, androgynous figures, possibly angels, floating above a landscape rendered in muted earth tones. The figures, with their flowing robes and delicate wings, evoke a sense of otherworldly grace. The circular composition, reminiscent of a medieval roundel, adds to the work's mystical charm. The colour palette is restrained, with soft blues, browns, and creams creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere. As a fine art print, 'Morning Glories' brings a touch of Pre-Raphaelite elegance to any interior. Its subtle colours and graceful composition make it a versatile piece that complements both modern and traditional decor. It is particularly well-suited for creating a calming and sophisticated ambience in a bedroom, study, or living room. The print serves as a beautiful reminder of the Victorian era's fascination with beauty, symbolism, and the natural world.

Edward Burne-Jones
Edward Burne-Jones, a leading light of the second wave of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, wasn't born into an artistic family. In fact, his early life pointed towards a career in the church. But a meeting with William Morris while studying theology at Exeter College, Oxford, set him on a different path. The pair were captivated by medieval legends and the Romantic poets, and together they abandoned their religious aspirations to pursue art and design. Burne-Jones, under the mentorship of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, quickly developed a distinctive style characterized by ethereal figures, rich colours, and a deep sense of melancholy. Burne-Jones's artistic vision extended beyond painting. He embraced decorative arts, creating stained glass, tapestries, and furniture, often in collaboration with William Morris's firm, Morris & Co. His designs adorned churches, country houses, and public buildings, embodying the Pre-Raphaelite ideal of integrating art into everyday life. Though he never formally joined the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, his aesthetic sensibilities aligned perfectly with their principles, and he became one of the most influential artists of the late 19th century. His notable works, such as 'The Beguiling of Merlin', 'Love Among the Ruins', and the 'Perseus Cycle', showcase his masterful storytelling and symbolic language. Burne-Jones's art offered an escape from the industrialised world, inviting viewers into a realm of beauty, myth, and poignant emotion. His influence rippled through the Symbolist movement, inspiring artists to explore the inner landscapes of the human psyche.
