BURNE-JONES, EDWARD, born in
Birmingham, England, Aug. 28, 1833. Student
at Exeter College, Oxford, with William
Morris and Swinburne, the latter of whom
dedicated to him his first volume of poems;
went to London in 1856 and became a pupil
of D. G. Rossetti, whose manner he imitated
for several years, but
he soon formed a
style of his own, inclining
more to idealism
and abstract
beauty than to realism,
and he is now
one of the chief exponents
in England
of the romantic
school. In 1857-58 he was associated with
Rossetti, Morris, Prinsep, and others, in
painting the Arthurean frescos on the
walls of the Oxford Union Debating Room.
In 1861 he was one of the originators of
the now well-known house of Morris & Co.,
and he has made many designs for stained
glass windows and other decorative work.
His studio is at the Grange, Hammersmith
Road, in the house of Richardson the novelist.
Elected an A.R.A. in 1885. Works:
Green Summer (1863); Story of Dorothea
(1866); Day, Night, Spring, Summer, Autumn,
Winter (1867-68); Wine of Circe
