"Pygmalion And The Image: I The Heart Desires" is a notable painting by the distinguished British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Aesthetic Movement. Created in 1868-1870, this work is the first in a series of four paintings that collectively narrate the myth of Pygmalion, a tale derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The series illustrates the story of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved, which is subsequently brought to life by the goddess Venus.

In "The Heart Desires," Burne-Jones captures the initial moment of Pygmalion's yearning and creative inspiration. The painting depicts Pygmalion in his studio, gazing intently at the unfinished statue that will eventually become his beloved Galatea. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his use of soft, muted colors create an atmosphere of introspection and longing. The composition is carefully balanced, with Pygmalion positioned to the left, his figure slightly hunched in contemplation, while the emerging form of Galatea occupies the right side of the canvas, bathed in a gentle, ethereal light.

Burne-Jones's work is characterized by its intricate symbolism and allegorical content, and "The Heart Desires" is no exception. The painting explores themes of idealized beauty, artistic creation, and the transformative power of love. The delicate rendering of textures, from the smooth marble of the statue to the rich fabrics in Pygmalion's studio, showcases Burne-Jones's technical prowess and his ability to evoke a sense of otherworldly enchantment.

As part of the larger Pygmalion series, "The Heart Desires" sets the stage for the unfolding narrative, inviting viewers into a world where art and life intermingle. Burne-Jones's interpretation of the Pygmalion myth remains a poignant reflection on the nature of desire and the artist's quest for perfection, making it a significant contribution to 19th-century British art.
