EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil sketch, titled "Venus bringing Armour to Aeneas" transports us back to the ancient world of mythology and heroism. Created in 1874 by the talented artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones, this delicate print measures 17.7x17.2 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The scene depicted here is filled with symbolism and emotion. Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, stands before us as she presents a set of armor to Aeneas, a legendary Trojan warrior. The intricate details captured by Burne-Jones' skilled hand bring life to this neoclassical composition. In this study drawing, we witness a moment that encapsulates both mythological grandeur and romantic tenderness. As Venus bestows her gift upon Aeneas, we can almost feel his anticipation for battle mingled with gratitude for her support. Burne-Jones' mastery shines through in every stroke of his pencil as he effortlessly combines elements from Greco-Roman mythology with his own unique artistic style. This fusion creates an enchanting piece that speaks volumes about courage, destiny, and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection without any commercial intent or mention thereof, let us be reminded of the power art holds in capturing timeless stories that continue to inspire generations after generations.
