"Pandora Desires to Open the Box" is a painting by Walter Crane, a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement in England. Created in 1885, this artwork delves into the myth of Pandora from ancient Greek mythology, who was said to have released all the evils into the world by opening a forbidden box. Crane's interpretation is rich in symbolism and detail, typical of his style, which often blended vibrant colors with a moral narrative.

The painting depicts Pandora, a figure from Hesiod's works, as she is about to open the mythical box, which in modern interpretations is often depicted as a jar. Her expression captures both curiosity and hesitancy, encapsulating the human condition's perpetual struggle between desire and restraint. Crane's work is not just a mere representation but a commentary on the consequences of human actions, a theme that resonates with the moral undertones of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

"Pandora Desires to Open the Box" is executed in oil on canvas, measuring approximately 45.7 x 35.6 cm. It is part of a series of works by Crane that explore themes from mythology and literature, showcasing his commitment to narrative art. The painting is noted for its intricate detail and the use of a lush palette, characteristics that highlight Crane's skills as a master illustrator and painter influenced by Pre-Raphaelite ideals and the burgeoning aestheticism of his time. This work remains an important example of 19th-century British art and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance.
