Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) was the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's great dreamer — a painter whose work exists in a world of Arthurian legend, classical mythology, and medieval romance so richly imagined it feels more real than reality. His elongated, melancholy figures, jewel-toned palettes, and exquisitely detailed decorative backgrounds produced some of the most hauntingly beautiful images of the Victorian era. The Golden Stairs, The Beguiling of Merlin, King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid — each one a world unto itself, painted with a level of technical refinement and artistic ambition that still astonishes. In counted cross stitch, Burne-Jones's extraordinary colour and intricate detail translate into designs of genuine splendour.
