The Hand Refrains
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of desire and longing. This exquisite piece, part of the Pygmalion and the Image series by Edward Coley Burne-Jones, takes us on a journey through the realm of sculpture and love. In this painting, we witness a sculptor delicately wielding his chisel as he carves out an enchanting figure. The artist's skillful hands are frozen in time, showcasing his mastery over form and texture. Through this act of creation, Burne-Jones explores themes of transformation and passion. Inspired by the mythological tale of Pygmalion, who fell in love with his own creation Galatea, "The Hand Refrains" invites us to ponder upon the power of art to bring forth life-like beauty. The nude figure depicted here exudes grace and vulnerability reminiscent of Venus Pudica - modesty personified. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded that nakedness can transcend mere physicality; it can symbolize purity and honesty. Burne-Jones' meticulous brushstrokes breathe life into Galatea's ethereal presence while evoking a sense of awe within us. This remarkable piece from 1868-70 continues to captivate viewers today with its Pre-Raphaelite charm. It serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' artistic prowess and his ability to transport us into mythical realms where desire meets creativity.
