Mirror of Venus, 1896 - A Captivating Glimpse into Mythical Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures the ethereal essence of "Mirror of Venus" an exquisite etching printed on vellum by Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1896. Measuring 33x52.7 cm, this artwork is a true testament to the artist's mastery and attention to detail. The composition of this piece draws inspiration from William Morris's poem "The Earthly Paradise" and the medieval legend of Tannhäuser. Engraved by Felix Jasinski, it beautifully portrays a mythological scene where a goddess-like figure kneels gracefully beside a tranquil pond nestled amidst majestic mountains. With its dreamlike quality and linear aesthetics, this artwork invites viewers into a world where sensuality meets reflection. The female subject gazes intently at her own mirrored image, embodying both vulnerability and strength. Clad in an elegant monochrome gown that billows around her like water, she exudes timeless beauty. Every element within this enchanting print tells a story - from the delicate folds of her robe to the serene pool reflecting her visage. It evokes feelings of awe and wonder as we contemplate the power and allure of classical mythology. As you admire this piece, allow yourself to be transported to another realm - one where feminine grace intertwines with nature's splendor.
