Painting Description
"Passing of Arthur" is a painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Burne-Jones' work is known for its medievalist and mythological themes, often drawing from literature and classical mythology. "Passing of Arthur," created in the late 19th century, is inspired by the Arthurian legends, specifically the tale of King Arthur's death as recounted in Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur" and Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King."
The painting depicts the somber moment of King Arthur's departure to the mythical isle of Avalon after his fatal battle at Camlann. In keeping with Burne-Jones' signature style, the work is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of elongated, elegant figures that convey a sense of melancholy and otherworldliness. The composition likely features the mortally wounded Arthur being carried aboard a boat, surrounded by his loyal knights and the weeping queens, as he bids farewell to his kingdom.
As a prominent figure in the Aesthetic movement, Burne-Jones' emphasis on beauty and craftsmanship can be seen in the ornate armor and textiles, which reflect his interest in design and his involvement with the decorative arts, particularly his work with the Morris & Co. The "Passing of Arthur" is emblematic of Burne-Jones' fascination with chivalric and romantic themes, and it contributes to the rich tapestry of visual interpretations of the Arthurian legend.
The painting is a testament to the enduring influence of medievalism in Victorian art and is considered an important work within Burne-Jones' oeuvre. It is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited and studied as part of the broader context of 19th-century British art. The "Passing of Arthur" continues to captivate audiences with its blend of history, myth, and exquisite aesthetic, marking it as a significant piece in the study of Pre-Raphaelite and Victorian art.
