Painting Description
''The Golden Stairs'' is an oil painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the later phase of the movement known as Aestheticism. Completed in 1880, this enigmatic work is considered one of Burne-Jones's masterpieces and is notable for its dreamlike quality and meticulous execution. The painting depicts a procession of eighteen classically robed women descending a spiral staircase, each in a state of serene contemplation and carrying a variety of musical instruments.
Measuring approximately 269 cm × 116.8 cm (106 in × 46 in), ''The Golden Stairs'' is a vertically elongated canvas that exemplifies Burne-Jones's mature style, characterized by its ethereal atmosphere, elongated figures, and a muted color palette. The composition is notable for its rhythm and the repetition of forms, which create a sense of musicality and movement, despite the overall stillness of the figures. The work's title, which does not explicitly reference any narrative or mythological subject, adds to its mysterious and timeless appeal.
Burne-Jones was heavily influenced by Italian Renaissance art, which is evident in the painting's classical drapery and the architectural elements reminiscent of the works of Italian masters such as Botticelli and Michelangelo. ''The Golden Stairs'' was exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery, a space known for showcasing the work of avant-garde artists, and it received mixed reviews, with some critics puzzled by its lack of an explicit story or moral message.
Today, ''The Golden Stairs'' is held in the collection of the Tate Britain in London. It continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is admired for its beauty and enigmatic qualities, which invite various interpretations. The painting is a testament to Burne-Jones's vision of art as a form of visual poetry and his contribution to the development of the Aesthetic movement, which championed art for art's sake.
