| Notes | Edward Burne-Jones' work depicts a youth and maiden embracing in an overgrown court of an Italian renaissance palace. They are situated beside a flowering rose with thorns. The print was published in the 'Art Journal' by Virtue & Co, London. The journal existed in order to promote art by distributing specially commissioned works by means of a lottery amongst its members. Luke Thompson Taylor (1873 - 1916) was a British etcher who was an important exponent of the medium during its revival in the latter half of the nineteenth-century. Known to have produced works after Burne-Jones and Madox Brown. Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, 1st Bt (1833-1898) was a painter and designer closely associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Burne-Jones met William Morris as an undergraduate of Exeter college, Oxford, whilst studying for a degree in theology. The pair went on to work very closely together on numerous decorative arts projects including stained glass windows, tapestries and illustrations. Originally intending to become a church minister, Burne-Jones never finished his degree, choosing instead to pursue an artistic career under the influence of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Rossetti heavily inspired his early work, but by the 1860's his idiosyncratic style was beginning to develop. His mature work, however different in total effect, is rich in conscious echoes of Botticelli, Mantegna and other Italian masters of the Quattrocento. Thusly, Burne Jones' later paintings of classical and medieval subjects are some of the most iconic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He was at the height of his popularity during the 1880's, though his reputation began to decline with the onset of the Impressionists. He was created a baronet in 1894, when he formally hyphenated his name. The original painting was sold by Christies in 2013 for a staggering price of 14.845875 million pounds.
