EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing woodcut artwork titled "Cerberus, 1866" by Edward Coley Burne-Jones. The image measures 10.3x15.8 cm and is part of a private collection. Designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for "The Tale of Cupid & Psyche" this woodblock masterpiece was skillfully carved by William Morris in 1866. The intricate details bring to life the mythical creature Cerberus, a monstrous three-headed dog from Greek mythology. In this scene, we witness a woman bravely facing the fearsome beast as she stands before an imposing door. This classical mythological moment captures the essence of love's quest and trials, symbolized by Cupid and Psyche's story. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the intensity of fear that permeates throughout. Every line tells a story, every stroke evokes emotion. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into an ancient world where Roman mythology intertwines with human courage and determination. The hound of Hades becomes more than just a creature; it becomes a metaphor for overcoming our own inner demons. This Fine Art Finder photograph allows us to appreciate not only Burne-Jones' artistic vision but also his collaboration with Morris in creating such an iconic piece within Pre-Raphaelite art history.
