The Garden Court, 1870-75. Creator: Edward Burne-Jones (British, 1833-1898)
The Garden Court, 1870-75. The story of Briar Rose (known popularly as " Sleeping Beauty" ) occupied Burne-Jones on and off for much of his career. He completed three related sets of paintings of the subject over a 30-year period. This drawing probably relates to the first series, now in the Museo de Arte in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Here, vines twist in arabesques against a flat, chartreuse background, as though ensnaring the six servants asleep at a loom and well

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Garden Court" by Edward Burne-Jones, a renowned British artist from the 19th century. The artwork is part of his series depicting the story of Briar Rose, commonly known as "Sleeping Beauty" which occupied Burne-Jones throughout his career. Over a span of 30 years, he completed three sets of paintings on this subject. In this particular drawing, we are transported to an enchanting scene where vines elegantly twist and turn against a vibrant chartreuse background. These intricate patterns seem to ensnare six servants who have fallen into a deep slumber while working at their loom. The delicate use of graphite and watercolor, heightened with white gouache, adds depth and texture to the composition. The drawing likely belongs to the first series on Sleeping Beauty and can be found in the Museo de Arte in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Its inclusion in this print allows us to appreciate Burne-Jones' exceptional talent for storytelling through art. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this masterpiece from The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection without any commercial intent. It serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' enduring legacy and invites viewers into an ethereal world filled with beauty and imagination.
