"The Rose Bower," Edward Burne-Jones, 1890.

Burne-Jones (1833-98) was a great British painter as well as being a designer of tiles, jewelry, mosaics, and stained-glass windows. Although heavily influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, he was considered a star of the Aesthetic movement as well, and modern fans regard him as having a foot in both camps.

Aestheticism believed that art should be simply an object of beauty, rather than preaching a lesson or telling a story. Pre-Raphaelites were all about bringing back intense detail and colors that existed in Renaissance art, which the Aesthetes loved, but they could be preachy and didactic in their art. (See Hunt's painting "The Awakening Conscience" which today is seen as almost comical.) Burne-Jones and his friend William Morris believed in creating beautiful objects, but also in bringing beauty to everyday items like wallpaper and woodwork.

This is part of a series called "The Legend of Briar Rose" which we know as Sleeping Beauty. Here we have the princess sleeping with her attendants in her castle...while the roses continue to creep in. It's one of a number of paintings depicting the inhabitants of the castle asleep while the roses grow around them.

From Buscot Park, Oxfordshire, UK.

😴🗿 “Sleeping Beauty”, sculpture de Louis Sussmann-Hellborn, à la Berlin National Gallery.
Il y a dans cette œuvre quelque chose de très doux et de très étrange à la fois : le marbre semble presque respirer, comme si le sommeil avait réussi l’exploit de devenir matière.

C’est tout le charme de ce genre de sculpture : immobile, mais loin d’être figée. On regarde… et on a presque peur de faire du bruit.

👉 Vous y voyez surtout la paix, la mélancolie, ou un rêve figé dans la pierre ?
