EDITORS COMMENTS
The Troy Triptych - Study of Fame overthrowing Fortune, 1875 is a captivating oil painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones. This remarkable artwork, created in the 19th century, showcases his mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite style and his deep understanding of Greek mythology. In this allegorical piece, Burne-Jones explores the eternal struggle between fame and fortune. The central figure of Fame triumphantly stands atop a wheel of fortune, symbolizing her victory over worldly possessions. With her trumpet raised high, she proclaims her power and influence to all who gaze upon her. Surrounding Fame are various naked figures representing both men and women. These vulnerable yet strong individuals embody the universal nature of fame's allure. Their nudity serves as a metaphor for their exposed vulnerability in pursuit of recognition. Burne-Jones' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate musical instruments held by some figures to the delicate color palette that adds depth and richness to each character portrayed. This stunning print can be found at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, where it continues to captivate art enthusiasts with its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' artistic brilliance and his ability to convey complex themes through visual storytelling. Whether you appreciate classical mythology or admire exquisite craftsmanship, this print offers an immersive experience into one artist's interpretation of fame's conquest over fortune.
