"Pygmalion And The Image: III The Godhead Fires" 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. This work is part of a series of four paintings created between 1868 and 1870, which collectively narrate the myth of Pygmalion, a story derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses." The series illustrates the tale 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 Godhead Fires," Burne-Jones captures the pivotal moment when the divine intervention occurs. The painting depicts the transformation of the statue into a living woman, a scene imbued with both mystical and romantic elements. The composition is characterized by Burne-Jones's meticulous attention to detail, his use of rich, harmonious colors, and his ability to convey a sense of ethereal beauty and otherworldliness.

Burne-Jones's work is deeply influenced by classical mythology, medieval romanticism, and the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which sought to revive the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. His paintings often explore themes of love, beauty, and transformation, and "The Godhead Fires" is a quintessential example of these preoccupations.

The painting is celebrated for its exquisite craftsmanship and its ability to evoke a narrative through visual means. Burne-Jones's portrayal of the divine moment is both tender and awe-inspiring, capturing the viewer's imagination and inviting them into a world where art and life converge. The series, including "The Godhead Fires," is housed in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and historical significance.
