"Sisyphus" c.1870 is a notable work by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. The painting depicts the mythological figure Sisyphus, who was condemned by the gods to eternally roll a boulder up a hill, only for it to roll down each time it neared the top. This subject is a classical embodiment of futile labor and eternal punishment.

Burne-Jones was renowned for his ethereal and melancholic representations of mythological and medieval subjects, often characterized by their dreamlike quality and meticulous attention to detail. In "Sisyphus," he captures the moment of the antihero's ceaseless toil, emphasizing the emotional and physical burden of the curse placed upon him. The work is a testament to Burne-Jones's mastery of narrative painting and his ability to convey complex human emotions through allegorical subjects.

The painting is executed in the artist's distinctive style, which features elongated figures, a muted color palette, and a focus on decorative elements. These stylistic choices reflect Burne-Jones's interest in the aesthetic movement and his involvement with the Arts and Crafts Movement, where he collaborated with other artists such as William Morris.

"Sisyphus" is part of Burne-Jones's broader oeuvre, which includes a variety of paintings, stained glass designs, and decorative arts that have had a lasting impact on both Victorian art and the symbolism movement in Europe. The work is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 19th-century British art.
