"Pygmalion And The Image: II The Hand Refrains" is a notable painting by the distinguished British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Created in the late 19th century, this work is part of a series of four paintings that depict the mythological tale of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved. The series, known as "The Pygmalion and the Image" series, illustrates the narrative from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," capturing the transformative power of love and art.

In "The Hand Refrains," Burne-Jones masterfully portrays the moment of hesitation and awe as Pygmalion realizes that his ivory statue has come to life. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the ethereal quality that is emblematic of Burne-Jones's style. The composition is both intimate and dramatic, with Pygmalion's hand suspended in mid-air, reflecting his astonishment and reverence for the living figure before him.

Burne-Jones's work is deeply rooted in the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. His paintings often explore themes of mythology, romance, and the interplay between reality and fantasy. "The Hand Refrains" is a quintessential example of these themes, blending classical mythology with a Victorian sensibility.

The painting not only showcases Burne-Jones's technical prowess but also his ability to convey profound emotional and psychological depth. It invites viewers to ponder the nature of creation, the boundaries between the animate and inanimate, and the transformative power of love. Through his delicate brushwork and evocative imagery, Burne-Jones creates a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences and art historians alike.
