EDITORS COMMENTS
Thisbe, 1861-62 (ceramic) by Edward Coley Burne-Jones is a captivating piece of art that transports us to the enchanting world of ancient legends. In this beautifully crafted ceramic panel, we witness a scene from the tragic love story of Thisbe. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the nineteenth century English arts and crafts movement with intricate details and delicate brushwork. Standing under the crescent moon, Thisbe, portrayed as a fair-haired Victorian woman dressed in elegant apparel, holds a sword firmly in her hands. As she stands alone in the darkness of night, surrounded by nature's embrace, Thisbe embodies strength and determination. Her long hair cascades down her back as she gazes into the distance with an air of melancholy. This powerful depiction evokes emotions and invites us to delve into Ovid's Metamorphoses where Thisbe's tale unfolds. It speaks volumes about female empowerment and resilience during a time when women were often confined to societal expectations. Burne-Jones' mastery shines through every brushstroke on this decorative panel mounted on wood. The fusion between pre-Raphaelite influences and European art techniques creates an ethereal atmosphere that captivates viewers. This print serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage while celebrating timeless themes such as love, tragedy, and human connection.
