In this print titled "Circe Pouring Poison into a Vase and Awaiting the Arrival of Ulysses" we are transported to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Painted by Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1863-69, this Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece tells a mesmerizing tale. At the center of the composition stands Circe, a sorceress known for her bewitching powers. With an air of malevolence, she pours poison into an ornate vase, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
