The Heart Desires
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating piece from the renowned Pygmalion and the Image series by Edward Coley Burne-Jones. This 1868 oil on canvas print, measuring 66x50.8 cm, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing emotions through his brushstrokes. In this particular artwork, we witness a moment of profound contemplation and longing. The central figure, King of Cyprus, gazes intensely at Galatea, his creation brought to life by his own hands. The sculpture stands before him with an ethereal beauty that emanates from her nakedness. Burne-Jones' Pre-Raphaelite style shines through as he meticulously depicts every detail of Galatea's form and expression. Her dreamlike presence evokes a sense of vulnerability and desire within the viewer. The painting invites us to ponder upon themes such as love, artistry, and human connection. It explores the complex relationship between creator and creation – a theme deeply rooted in mythology. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where dreams intertwine with reality. "The Heart Desires" serves as a timeless reminder that our deepest desires can manifest themselves in unexpected ways – even breathing life into our most cherished creations.
