"Love Among the Ruins" is a celebrated painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Completed in 1873 and subsequently reworked in 1894, this artwork is renowned for its evocative representation of romantic decay and the enduring nature of love. The title of the painting is borrowed from a poem by Robert Browning, which similarly explores themes of love persisting amidst the decline of civilizations.

The painting depicts two lovers embracing amid the crumbling ruins of a classical civilization, symbolizing the contrast between the ephemeral nature of human achievements and the timeless quality of human emotion. Burne-Jones's use of rich, vibrant colors and his meticulous attention to detail reflect the Pre-Raphaelites' fascination with medieval and early Renaissance art, characterized by its vivid imagery and complex symbolism.

Measuring approximately 36 x 73 inches (91 x 186 cm), the original version of "Love Among the Ruins" was executed in watercolor, a medium in which Burne-Jones excelled. The 1894 version, however, was painted in oil and is larger, measuring 157.5 x 116 cm. It is this later version that is most commonly associated with the title and is held in the collection of the Wightwick Manor in Wolverhampton, England, which is managed by the National Trust.

Burne-Jones's work is often noted for its dreamlike quality and its focus on themes of love, myth, and the supernatural. "Love Among the Ruins" is a quintessential example of his artistic vision, combining a romanticized historical setting with a deeply human subject. The painting's composition, with its interplay of architectural lines and organic forms, as well as its exploration of the passage of time, has made it an enduring masterpiece of the Pre-Raphaelite canon and an important work in the history of British art.
