The Green Dining-room at South Kensington Museum, created around 1870 by an unknown artist, showcases Burne-Jones' influence in interior design and decoration. One of his notable masterpieces is Sponsa De Libano from 1891. This captivating piece depicts a woman adorned with intricate details and symbolizes purity and beauty.

These two creative minds collaborated closely to establish the Arts and Crafts movement, which aimed to revive traditional craftsmanship amidst industrialization. The Kelmscott Press edition of 'The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer, ' featuring a title page and opening page designed by Burne-Jones himself, exemplifies his skill as both an artist and book designer. His attention to detail shines through every stroke on these pages. Danae or The Tower of Brass is another remarkable artwork by Burne-Jones.

The Angel is an ethereal painting that captures the delicate beauty often associated with angels. Created using oil on panel technique, it showcases Burne-Jones' ability to infuse spirituality into his work.
