EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Comes to the First Sister, 1866" transports us back in time to a mythical world of love, trials, and sisterhood. The woodcut artwork was designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for "The Tale of Cupid & Psyche" a timeless story that continues to captivate audiences today. In this scene, we witness two female figures standing tall as they meet during a crucial moment in their quest. The first sister pleads her case with heartfelt emotion while the second sister listens attentively. Their classical attire and graceful postures evoke a sense of ancient Greek or Roman mythology. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the image, allowing our imagination to fill in the missing colors. This Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece showcases not only the artistic talents of Burne-Jones but also his collaboration with renowned woodblock artist William Morris. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the power of sibling bonds and the lengths one would go through for love. It serves as a visual reminder that even in mythological tales from centuries ago, themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and determination remain universal. Courtesy of Julian Hartnoll's collection and Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving fine art prints like this one; we can now appreciate this exquisite piece within our own homes or galleries alike.
