"Study for the Head of Fame in the 'Story of Troy' Polyptych" is a preparatory work by the eminent British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, who was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and known for his contributions to the revival of the medieval aesthetic in art. This study is part of the developmental process for Burne-Jones's larger project, the 'Story of Troy' polyptych, which was intended to depict scenes from the ancient Greek epic cycle concerning the Trojan War.

The artwork, a drawing or painting in its own right, represents the artist's exploration of the character of Fame, personified as a figure within the narrative tapestry of the Trojan legends. As a study, it would have served as an essential step in refining the final image of Fame for the polyptych, allowing Burne-Jones to experiment with composition, form, and expression before committing to the final work.

Burne-Jones's approach to the subject matter is reflective of his broader oeuvre, characterized by a fascination with mythological and literary themes, meticulous attention to detail, and a distinctive style that married classical ideals with a Victorian sensibility. His works often evoke a dreamlike and ethereal quality, with an emphasis on beauty and melancholy.

The 'Story of Troy' polyptych itself was a significant undertaking that would have showcased Burne-Jones's skill in narrative art and his ability to weave complex stories into visual form. The study for the Head of Fame offers insight into the artist's creative process and his interpretation of the allegorical figure within the context of the Trojan narratives.

As a piece of the larger puzzle in Burne-Jones's body of work, this study not only highlights his technical prowess but also his intellectual engagement with themes of heroism, glory, and the human desire for immortality through fame. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of classical antiquity in the visual arts and the continued relevance of these ancient stories in the cultural imagination of the 19th century.
