Painting Description
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, created a series of paintings known as "Pygmalion and the Image," which vividly illustrate the mythological tale of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved. "Pygmalion And The Image: IV The Soul Attains [detail]" is the fourth and final painting in this series, completed between 1868 and 1870. This particular work captures the climactic moment when the statue, brought to life by the goddess Venus, attains a soul and becomes a living woman, reciprocating Pygmalion's love.
Burne-Jones's interpretation of the Pygmalion myth is deeply infused with the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to revive the detail, color, and complexity of early Renaissance art. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the ethereal quality of the figures. The artist's use of soft, flowing lines and delicate shading imbues the scene with a sense of otherworldly beauty and grace.
In "The Soul Attains," Burne-Jones masterfully conveys the transformative power of love and art. The moment of the statue's animation is depicted with a tender intimacy, as Pygmalion gazes upon his creation with awe and adoration. The newly animated figure, now imbued with life, exudes a serene and gentle presence, symbolizing the attainment of an idealized form of beauty and perfection.
The painting not only reflects Burne-Jones's technical prowess but also his deep engagement with themes of creation, transformation, and the intersection of the divine and the mortal. "Pygmalion And The Image: IV The Soul Attains [detail]" stands as a testament to Burne-Jones's ability to blend mythological storytelling with profound emotional and aesthetic depth, making it a significant work within his oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century British art.
