"Phyllis and Demophöon" is a painting completed in 1870 by the renowned British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This artwork is a striking example of Burne-Jones's fascination with classical mythology and his meticulous attention to detail, which are hallmarks of his artistic style. The painting depicts the poignant mythological tale of Phyllis and Demophöon, characters from Greek mythology whose story is one of love, betrayal, and transformation.

In the myth, Demophöon, the son of Theseus, promises to return to Phyllis, the daughter of a Thracian king, after leaving her to attend to his duties. However, he fails to keep his promise, leading to Phyllis's despair and eventual transformation into an almond tree. Burne-Jones captures the emotional intensity of this narrative through his use of rich, symbolic imagery and a delicate, almost ethereal palette. The figures are rendered with a sense of grace and melancholy, reflecting the tragic nature of their story.

Burne-Jones's "Phyllis and Demophöon" is notable for its intricate composition and the artist's ability to convey deep emotional resonance through his characters' expressions and body language. The painting also exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ideals, emphasizing a return to the detailed, vibrant, and complex compositions reminiscent of early Renaissance art. The work is imbued with a sense of romanticism and idealism, characteristic of Burne-Jones's oeuvre, and it reflects his broader interest in themes of love, loss, and transformation.

The painting has been celebrated for its technical mastery and its ability to evoke a timeless, otherworldly atmosphere. It remains an important piece within Burne-Jones's body of work and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and narrative depth.
