Painting Description
"Four Scenes From The Legend Of The Briar Rose" is a series of four oil paintings created by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones between 1885 and 1890. These works are among Burne-Jones's most celebrated contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to revive the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The series is based on the classic fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty," also known as "Briar Rose," and it captures the narrative's enchanting and dreamlike qualities through Burne-Jones's meticulous and evocative style.
The four paintings in the series are titled "The Briar Wood," "The Council Chamber," "The Garden Court," and "The Rose Bower." Each painting depicts a different moment in the story, illustrating the passage of time and the deep sleep that falls over the castle and its inhabitants. "The Briar Wood" shows the prince discovering the overgrown forest that surrounds the castle. "The Council Chamber" depicts the sleeping courtiers, frozen in time. "The Garden Court" presents the scene of the sleeping knights and ladies in the castle's courtyard. Finally, "The Rose Bower" reveals the princess herself, asleep amidst a tangle of roses.
Burne-Jones's use of rich, jewel-like colors and intricate details creates a sense of timelessness and otherworldliness. The paintings are characterized by their ethereal beauty and the artist's ability to convey a narrative through visual means. The series was commissioned by Alexander Henderson, later Lord Faringdon, and is housed at Buscot Park in Oxfordshire, England. The "Four Scenes From The Legend Of The Briar Rose" remains a testament to Burne-Jones's skill and imagination, as well as his contribution to the revival of medieval and Renaissance aesthetics in Victorian art.
