"Study For 'the Feast Of Peleus'" is a preparatory work by the renowned British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the Aesthetic Movement. Burne-Jones, known for his intricate and dreamlike compositions, often drew inspiration from classical mythology, medieval romance, and literary sources. This particular study is a testament to his meticulous approach to composition and his dedication to capturing the essence of mythological narratives.

The subject of the study, the Feast of Peleus, is rooted in Greek mythology. Peleus, a mortal king, is best known as the father of Achilles and the husband of the sea nymph Thetis. Their wedding feast is a significant mythological event, famously disrupted by the goddess Eris, who, uninvited, cast the golden apple inscribed "to the fairest," leading to the Judgment of Paris and eventually the Trojan War. Burne-Jones's interest in such a rich narrative reflects his broader fascination with themes of beauty, fate, and the interplay between the mortal and divine.

In this study, Burne-Jones explores the arrangement of figures, the interplay of light and shadow, and the overall composition that would later inform his final work. The study likely includes detailed sketches of the central characters, such as Peleus, Thetis, and the various gods and goddesses in attendance. Burne-Jones's characteristic style—marked by elongated forms, ethereal beauty, and a sense of otherworldliness—is evident even in these preparatory stages.

The study not only provides insight into Burne-Jones's creative process but also serves as a valuable piece for understanding the development of his larger works. It highlights his commitment to thorough preparation and his ability to weave complex mythological themes into visually captivating art. Through such studies, Burne-Jones's legacy as a master of narrative painting and a pivotal figure in 19th-century British art continues to be appreciated and studied.
