EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Garden of the Hesperides" created between 1869 and 1873. The artwork, measuring 119x98 cm, is a stunning combination of tempera, gouache, and oil on card and canvas. Currently housed in the prestigious Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany, this painting depicts the mythical daughters of Night and Darkness. The scene transports viewers to an enchanting garden where a magnificent apple tree stands at its center. Adorned with golden apples that are said to grant immortality when consumed, this tree is guarded by Ladon—the serpent-like creature from Greek mythology. As we gaze upon the painting's intricate details, we can almost feel the lushness of the foliage surrounding us. Burne-Jones masterfully captures every element of this mythological tale through his meticulous brushwork and vibrant color palette. The composition invites us to ponder Hercules' labor as he embarks on his twelfth task—to retrieve these precious golden apples from their well-guarded sanctuary. This print not only celebrates Burne-Jones' artistic genius but also allows us to appreciate the rich symbolism embedded within pre-Raphaelite art. With its focus on mythology and storytelling combined with impeccable craftsmanship, "Garden of the Hesperides" continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century since its creation.
