Original Description
In "Pygmalion And The Image: IV The Soul Attains," Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones transports viewers into a dreamlike realm where myth and emotion intertwine. This 1878 masterpiece, the final panel of his four-part Pygmalion series, captures the climactic moment when Venus breathes life into Pygmalion's sculpted love, Galatea. Bathed in soft golden light, the painting's Pre-Raphaelite style shines through in its intricate drapery, elongated figures, and symbolic details—signature elements of Burne-Jones' mature period. The artist masterfully blends medieval influences with Romantic sensibility, creating an atmosphere of divine ecstasy as Pygmalion kneels in awe before his awakened creation. As part of the second wave of Pre-Raphaelitism, this work represents Burne-Jones' transition toward Symbolism, making it pivotal in understanding late-Victorian art's evolution toward more psychological and mystical themes. The painting's poetic treatment of classical myth challenged contemporary academic conventions while preserving technical precision.
For interior decoration, this artwork lends itself beautifully to spaces seeking refined elegance with mythological depth. Its vertical composition (approximately 99 × 76 cm) makes it ideal for tall walls in studies or formal sitting rooms. Frame it in an ornate gilt wood frame to echo its Renaissance inspiration, or opt for cleaner walnut for contemporary contrast. The rich amber and terracotta tones in the painting pair wonderfully with burgundy upholstery or teak furniture, while the celestial blues harmonize with silver or mercury glass accents. Consider placing it as a focal point above a console table with sculptural elements—perhaps a marble bust or bronze figurines—to extend the Pygmalion narrative into your space. In offices, position it where soft lighting can replicate the painting's luminosity, creating an inspiring backdrop for creative work. Avoid cluttering adjacent walls; let its symbolic power resonate through thoughtful negative space.
