"Love Among the Ruins" is a celebrated painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a preeminent artist of the Pre-Raphaelite movement in the 19th century. Completed in 1894, this artwork is renowned for its evocative portrayal of romantic love set against the backdrop of a decaying classical landscape, symbolizing the enduring nature of love amidst the transient and crumbling vestiges of the material world.

The painting features two central figures, a man and a woman, locked in an intimate embrace, seemingly oblivious to the ruins that surround them. The title of the work is a direct reference to the poem "Love Among the Ruins" by Robert Browning, which similarly explores themes of love and the passage of time. Burne-Jones's interpretation is characterized by its rich, jewel-like colors and intricate detailing, hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

Measuring approximately 157.5 by 75.6 centimeters, "Love Among the Ruins" is executed in watercolor and gouache on paper, a medium that allowed Burne-Jones to achieve a luminous quality and a level of precision that contributed to the painting's dreamlike atmosphere. The figures are draped in flowing garments that echo the classical setting, and the artist's use of allegory and symbolism invites viewers to contemplate the timeless and universal nature of love.

"Love Among the Ruins" is not only a testament to Burne-Jones's mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic but also a reflection of the Victorian fascination with medievalism and classical antiquity. The work is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its poignant thematic content, and it remains an important example of the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the late 19th century. It is part of the collection of the Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, England, bequeathed to the National Trust by Sir Geoffrey Mander, an avid collector of Pre-Raphaelite art.
