EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fair Rosamund and Queen Eleanor" by Edward Coley Burne-Jones depicts a legendary tale of love, jealousy, and poison in medieval England. The mixed media artwork on paper measures 49.5x37.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art, USA. The painting portrays two central figures - Fair Rosamund and Queen Eleanor - both entangled in a web of power dynamics and forbidden desires. Rosamund, depicted as a beautiful damsel, was King Henry II's mistress while he was married to Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. The legend surrounding this piece tells the story of Queen Eleanor's intense jealousy towards her husband's affair with Rosamund. In an act of revenge, it is said that she discovered Rosamund's secret bower hidden within a labyrinthine garden maze and forced her to drink poison. Burne-Jones' exquisite attention to detail brings this medieval tale to life through his intricate use of mixed media techniques. The contrasting colors and delicate brushstrokes evoke the emotions felt by these historical characters caught in a tumultuous love triangle. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the tragic consequences that arise from envy and betrayal. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring power that art holds in capturing timeless stories from our pasts.
