EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid" created in 1884. The painting, held at the prestigious Tate Britain in London, depicts a mesmerizing love story that transcends social boundaries. In this scene, we witness a wealthy monarch seated next to a barefoot beggar maid. Their stark contrast symbolizes the vast divide between wealth and poverty during the 19th century. The king's proposal to the beggar maid is portrayed with utmost tenderness and vulnerability, challenging societal norms of that time. Burne-Jones' artistic style draws inspiration from Dutch Golden Age paintings and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood movement. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this oil portrait, capturing both emotion and narrative within a single frame. The inclusion of cartography and literature further enriches this piece as it explores themes of exploration, knowledge, and power dynamics. Through his artistry, Burne-Jones invites us into a world where love conquers all barriers - be they social or economic. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bibbys Annual 1911 by J. Bibby & Sons Liverpool, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever on canvas. It serves as a reminder that true love knows no bounds - even for kings and beggars alike.
