Painting Description
"Study For One Of The Gorgons In The Finding Of Perseus" is a preparatory drawing by the renowned British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Aesthetic Movement. This study is part of Burne-Jones's extensive work on the mythological series depicting the life and adventures of the Greek hero Perseus, commissioned by the British art collector Arthur Balfour in the late 19th century. The series, which includes paintings, drawings, and studies, illustrates various episodes from the legend of Perseus, who is best known for slaying the Gorgon Medusa.
Burne-Jones's fascination with classical mythology and his meticulous approach to composition are evident in this study. The Gorgons, in Greek mythology, are three monstrous sisters with snakes for hair, whose gaze could turn anyone to stone. Medusa, the most famous of the Gorgons, is the central figure in the narrative of Perseus. In "Study For One Of The Gorgons," Burne-Jones explores the form and expression of one of these fearsome creatures, capturing the blend of beauty and terror that characterizes the mythological beings.
The drawing showcases Burne-Jones's skill in rendering the human form with a high degree of anatomical accuracy and emotional depth. His use of line and shading creates a sense of volume and texture, bringing the mythical figure to life on paper. This study not only serves as a preparatory work for the final painting but also stands alone as a testament to Burne-Jones's artistic process and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.
Burne-Jones's work on the Perseus series, including this study, reflects his broader artistic goals of reviving and reinterpreting classical themes for a contemporary audience. His dedication to detail and his imaginative vision have cemented his place as one of the most important artists of the Victorian era. "Study For One Of The Gorgons In The Finding Of Perseus" remains a significant piece within his oeuvre, offering insight into his creative process and his enduring legacy in the world of art.
