"Pygmalion" is a series of four paintings by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which depict scenes from the Greek myth of Pygmalion. Created between 1868 and 1870, the paintings illustrate the story of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with a statue he has carved. The myth, most famously recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses," tells of Pygmalion's prayer to Venus for a bride who would be the living likeness of his ivory sculpture. Moved by his devotion, the goddess brings the statue to life, and the sculptor marries his creation.

The four works in the series are titled "The Heart Desires," "The Hand Refrains," "The Godhead Fires," and "The Soul Attains." Each painting captures a critical moment in the narrative arc, from Pygmalion's yearning for his idealized figure to the climactic transformation of the statue into a living woman. Burne-Jones's interpretation is noted for its emphasis on sensuality and the emotional intensity between the artist and his creation, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelites' fascination with classical themes, elaborate symbolism, and the exploration of love and desire.

The "Pygmalion" series exemplifies Burne-Jones's mature style, characterized by its dreamlike quality, elongated figures, and meticulous attention to detail. The paintings are also significant for their contribution to the Aesthetic Movement, which advocated for art's emphasis on beauty and aesthetic experience over moral or didactic messages. The works have been widely exhibited and are considered among Burne-Jones's most important contributions to Victorian art, demonstrating his ability to blend mythological subject matter with his unique artistic vision.
