Painting Description
"The Vampire" is a painting by British artist Sir Philip Burne-Jones, Bt, completed in 1897. It is one of the most notable works of Burne-Jones, who was the son of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood co-founder Sir Edward Burne-Jones. The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 40 by 30 inches. It depicts a femme fatale figure looming over a sleeping man, embodying the theme of the predatory woman which was a common motif in the fin de siècle art and literature.
The work is inspired by the poem "The Vampire" by Rudyard Kipling, which was published in 1897. Kipling's poem tells the story of a man seduced and destroyed by a cold and heartless woman, likened to a vampire. The painting's subject reflects the Victorian era's anxieties about female sexuality and the idea of the 'New Woman,' a feminist concept that challenged traditional ideas about women's roles and behavior.
"The Vampire" caused a sensation when it was exhibited at the New Gallery in London in 1897. Its provocative imagery and the connection to Kipling's poem, which was recited at the gallery, contributed to the painting's notoriety and public interest. The work is often cited as an example of Gothic influence in Victorian art and is seen as a precursor to the symbolist movement that would gain prominence in the early 20th century.
The painting's legacy includes influencing the popular culture image of the vampire as a seductive and dangerous woman, a trope that has persisted in various forms to the present day. "The Vampire" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, though it is not always on display. The painting remains a subject of study for its representation of gender, sexuality, and the anxieties of its time, as well as for its place in the history of British art.
