Painting Description
"Pygmalion and the Image - The Soul Attains" is a painting by the 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 then brought to life by the goddess Venus.
"The Soul Attains" is the culminating piece in this series, capturing the moment of transformation and the fulfillment of Pygmalion's longing. In this painting, Burne-Jones masterfully depicts the transition from inanimate to animate, as the once cold marble figure becomes a living woman. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his use of soft, ethereal lighting imbue the scene with a sense of divine intervention and romantic idealism.
Burne-Jones's work is characterized by its intricate compositions, rich symbolism, and an emphasis on beauty and emotion. "The Soul Attains" exemplifies these qualities, with its delicate rendering of the human form and the palpable sense of wonder and reverence. The painting reflects the broader themes of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, including a fascination with classical mythology, a dedication to craftsmanship, and an aspiration to transcend the mundane through art.
The series, including "The Soul Attains," is housed in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where it continues to be celebrated for its artistic and narrative depth. Burne-Jones's interpretation of the Pygmalion myth remains a poignant exploration of love, creativity, and the transformative power of art.
