Painting Description
"Profile Head Study For Laus Veneris" is a preparatory drawing by the renowned British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Aesthetic Movement. This study was created as part of Burne-Jones's extensive preparatory work for his celebrated painting "Laus Veneris," which was completed in 1873 and is now housed in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The drawing exemplifies Burne-Jones's meticulous approach to composition and character development, showcasing his dedication to capturing the intricate details and emotional depth of his subjects. "Profile Head Study For Laus Veneris" focuses on the profile of one of the female figures in the final painting, reflecting the artist's fascination with classical beauty and his skill in rendering delicate facial features with precision and sensitivity.
"Laus Veneris," which translates to "In Praise of Venus," is inspired by the legend of Tannhäuser, a Germanic tale that explores themes of love, beauty, and the conflict between earthly desires and spiritual redemption. The painting depicts Venus, the Roman goddess of love, surrounded by her attendants in a richly decorated interior, exuding an atmosphere of languid sensuality and opulent decadence. Burne-Jones's preparatory studies, including the "Profile Head Study," were crucial in developing the nuanced expressions and postures that convey the complex emotional landscape of the final work.
Burne-Jones's art is characterized by its dreamlike quality, intricate detail, and a deep sense of melancholy, all of which are evident in this study. The drawing not only highlights his technical prowess but also provides insight into his creative process, revealing the layers of thought and effort that underpin his masterpieces. As a piece of Burne-Jones's preparatory work, "Profile Head Study For Laus Veneris" holds significant value for art historians and enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the artist's method and the evolution of one of his most famous paintings.
