"St Theophilus And The Angel: A Legend Of The Martyrdom Of St Dorothea" is a notable work by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a prominent British artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This artwork, created in the late 19th century, exemplifies Burne-Jones's fascination with medieval themes, religious iconography, and the revival of intricate, detailed craftsmanship that characterized the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

The painting depicts a scene from the legend of St. Dorothea, an early Christian martyr who lived during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. According to the legend, Dorothea was a devout Christian who was persecuted for her faith. Before her execution, she was mocked by Theophilus, a Roman lawyer, who sarcastically asked her to send him fruits and flowers from the garden of her heavenly bridegroom. After her martyrdom, an angel appeared to Theophilus, bearing a basket of roses and apples, leading to his conversion to Christianity.

Burne-Jones's interpretation of this legend is rendered with his characteristic attention to detail and use of rich, vibrant colors. The composition is marked by its ethereal quality, with the figures of St. Dorothea, Theophilus, and the angel depicted in a dreamlike, almost otherworldly manner. The artist's meticulous approach to texture and pattern is evident in the intricate detailing of the garments and the delicate rendering of the flowers and fruits.

This work not only reflects Burne-Jones's deep engagement with religious and mythological subjects but also his broader artistic vision that sought to transcend the mundane and evoke a sense of spiritual and aesthetic transcendence. "St Theophilus And The Angel: A Legend Of The Martyrdom Of St Dorothea" remains a significant example of Burne-Jones's contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and his enduring influence on the trajectory of British art.
