EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Chaucer's Dream of Fair Women" painted in 1865. The oil on canvas artwork measures 27.9x38.1 cm and is currently held in a private collection, made available for viewing by courtesy of Julian Hartnoll. This enchanting piece falls under the category of Pre-Raphaelite art, known for its attention to detail and vibrant colors. In this painting, we are transported back to the medieval era as Chaucer himself dreams of fair women from various tales he has written. The heroines depicted here are shown peacefully sleeping amidst a beautiful garden setting. A sense of tranquility permeates the scene as they rest beneath an arch adorned with poppies while being surrounded by lush greenery. The artist skillfully captures each woman's unique character through their expressions and poses, allowing us to glimpse into their stories and personalities. Arrows symbolizing love and desire can be seen scattered throughout the composition, emphasizing the theme of romance prevalent in Chaucer's works. A central fountain adds a touch of elegance to the scene while also serving as a reminder that these women belong to different time periods within Chaucer's literary universe - ranging from c. 1345-1400. Burne-Jones' meticulous brushwork brings this dreamlike vision to life, immersing viewers in an ethereal realm where beauty reigns supreme.
