Cupid's Hunting Fields, Sir Edward Burne-Jones
Cupid's Hunting Fields, 1885

Sir Edward Burne-Jones

1833–1898 · Symbolism · 7 works

Burne-Jones imagines a world apart from everyday life. In The Love Song, figures, music and a garden create a scene that suggests a mood as much as a story. Its poetic associations connect British painting with the wider European interest in symbolic imagery.
