Painting Description
"Pygmalion and the Image: IV The Soul Attains" is the fourth and final painting in a series by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a prominent Pre-Raphaelite artist known for his contributions to the revival of the medieval aesthetic in British art. Created between 1868 and 1870, this series of paintings is based on the story of Pygmalion from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which tells the tale of a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved. The narrative explores themes of art, creation, and transformation, culminating in the statue's animation by divine intervention.
In "The Soul Attains," Burne-Jones captures the climactic moment when Pygmalion's devotion and desire breathe life into his ivory creation, Galatea. The painting is rich in symbolic detail and emotional depth, showcasing Burne-Jones's mastery of composition, color, and narrative storytelling. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with mythology, his skillful use of allegory, and his contribution to the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the mystical and the ineffable through visual art.
The series was widely acclaimed for its innovative approach to a classical subject, its exquisite execution, and its profound emotional resonance. "The Soul Attains" is particularly noted for its portrayal of the transformative power of love and the blurring of boundaries between art and reality. As the culmination of the Pygmalion series, it represents the fulfillment of creative and romantic aspiration, themes that were central to Burne-Jones's oeuvre and the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement.
Today, "Pygmalion and the Image: IV The Soul Attains" is celebrated as a masterpiece of Victorian art, embodying the ideals and innovations of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It is held in high regard not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its contribution to the exploration of themes that continue to resonate with audiences: the relationship between creator and creation, the power of imagination, and the quest for ideal beauty.
