Pygmalion is a series of four oil paintings created by the British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones between 1868 and 1870. These paintings are inspired by the mythological story of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved, which is brought to life by the goddess Venus. Burne-Jones, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his romantic and often fantastical subjects, and the Pygmalion series is a quintessential example of his style.

The series consists of four panels: "The Heart Desires," "The Hand Refrains," "The Godhead Fires," and "The Soul Attains." Each painting captures a different moment in the narrative, beginning with Pygmalion's longing and culminating in the miraculous animation of the statue. Burne-Jones's meticulous attention to detail and his use of rich, vibrant colors bring the myth to life, imbuing the scenes with a sense of otherworldly beauty and emotional depth.

"The Heart Desires" depicts Pygmalion's initial yearning as he gazes upon his unfinished statue. "The Hand Refrains" shows the sculptor hesitating, overwhelmed by his feelings. In "The Godhead Fires," Venus appears, responding to Pygmalion's prayers and breathing life into the statue. Finally, "The Soul Attains" captures the moment of transformation, with the statue becoming a living woman and embracing Pygmalion.

Burne-Jones's Pygmalion series is celebrated for its lyrical quality and its exploration of themes such as idealized beauty, artistic creation, and the power of love. The paintings are housed in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, where they continue to be admired for their technical mastery and emotional resonance. The series not only reflects Burne-Jones's fascination with classical mythology but also his ability to convey complex human emotions through his art.
