EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating watercolor on paper masterpiece by the renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. This classical piece, measuring an impressive 152.4x58.4 cm, exudes the essence of temperance and quenching one's desires. The painting depicts a scene where flames dance gracefully around a beautiful woman, symbolizing the temptations and vices that she resists with her unwavering self-control. The figure in the artwork is none other than Jane Morris, who was not only Burne-Jones' muse but also his close friend. With its pre-Raphaelite style, "Temperantia" showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to this allegorical representation of temperance. The use of contrasting light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the ethereal beauty of Jane Morris. The central focus of the painting is an ornate urn filled with water pouring into a crystal-clear basin below it. This imagery represents purity and purification through self-restraint—a visual reminder that indulging in excess can lead to destruction. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this mesmerizing print from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Burne-Jones' mastery firsthand. As we gaze upon "Temperantia" we are transported back in time to witness both the artistic brilliance of Edward Coley Burne-Jones and his profound exploration of human virtue through his beloved muse Jane
