One of the great exponents of the late Pre-Raphaelite style, Edward Burne-Jones produced romantic paintings noted for their medieval imagery and mythological settings, impassioned with pure and variegated colour. His vivid imagination delighted in the tales of Arthurian legend, fashioning new worlds, far from the restraints of late Victorian England. Burne-Jones also helped revive the ideal of the "artist-craftsman", influencing the development of twentieth century industrial design. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Burne-Jones’ collected works, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
