"Study for Chaucer's Dream of Good Women" is a preparatory work by the renowned British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. This study is part of Burne-Jones's broader engagement with literary themes, particularly those drawn from medieval literature and mythology, which were central to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. The work is inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's poem "The Legend of Good Women," which recounts the stories of virtuous women from classical and medieval history and mythology.

Burne-Jones's study reflects his meticulous approach to composition and his deep appreciation for Chaucer's text. The artist was known for his detailed preparatory sketches and studies, which allowed him to explore various aspects of his subjects, including their poses, expressions, and the intricate details of their surroundings. This particular study likely served as a preliminary exploration of the themes and figures that would later appear in a more finished work.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, founded in 1848, sought to return to the rich detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of pre-Renaissance art. Burne-Jones, a second-generation member of the movement, was particularly influenced by the medievalism and romanticism that characterized the Brotherhood's work. His fascination with literary sources, especially those from the medieval period, is evident in his numerous works that draw on texts like Chaucer's.

"Study for Chaucer's Dream of Good Women" exemplifies Burne-Jones's skill in capturing the ethereal and otherworldly qualities of his subjects. His use of delicate lines and careful shading in the study highlights his ability to convey both the physical beauty and the inner nobility of the women he depicted. This work not only underscores Burne-Jones's technical prowess but also his deep engagement with the literary and cultural heritage of the medieval period, which he sought to revive and reinterpret through his art.
