Quest for the Holy Grail - Study for the Summons, 1894
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the timeless quest for the Holy Grail. Created by Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a renowned painter of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, this watercolour and gouache on paper transports us to an Arthurian legend brought to life. In this preparatory study, we witness a group of men gathered around a round table as they receive a summons. The figures are depicted in their natural form, with both male and female nudes present. A woman gestures and beckons towards them while seated upon a majestic white horse saddled nearby. The painting exudes an air of mystery and anticipation as these brave souls embark on their sacred mission. Inspired by mythological literature, Burne-Jones skillfully brings together elements of fantasy and reality within his work. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece from the late 19th century England, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transport us to different worlds. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase Burne-Jones' mastery as an artist. Displayed at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, this print serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' contribution to British art history. It is not just another depiction but rather an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Arthurian legends that have captivated audiences throughout centuries.
