A Sea-Nymph, 1881, Edward Coley Burne-Jones, British, 1833 - 1898, 47 3/4 x 47 3/4 in. (121.29 x 121.29 cm) (sight)55 x 55 x 3 5/8 in. (139.7 x 139.7 x 9.21 cm) (outer frame), Oil on canvas, England, 19th century, Edward Burne-Jones became a founding member of William Morriss decorative art firm in 1861, where he produced countless designs and illustrations for books, tapestries, ceramic tiles, mosaics and stained glass. In 1862, he traveled to Italy where he was introduced to Botticelli, whose formal patterning profoundly influenced his subsequent development as a painter. His typical subject matter derived from medieval and classical legends charged with symbolism. In fact, he was pre-eminent in the Aesthetic movement in England and the Symbolist movement in Europe. A defining characteristic of Burne-Jones as an artist was his willful blurring of the boundaries between his painting and his decorative work, something quite evident in the conception of Sea-Nymph.
