Burne-Jones' Vision: A Tapestry of Myth and Symbolism
Burne-Jones' tapestry is a visual symphony of myth and symbolism. It draws inspiration from the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with his own creation, a statue named Galatea. The tapestry depicts the moment when Galatea is brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite, with the "godhead fires" of inspiration descending upon her.
