Original Description
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones’ Love Among The Ruins (1894) is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that captures the Pre-Raphaelite fascination with medieval romance and poetic melancholy. Set against a desolate landscape of crumbling classical architecture bathed in golden twilight, the painting depicts a young couple lost in an intimate embrace—their flowing garments and intertwined figures contrasting with the weathered stones. Inspired by Robert Browning’s poem of the same name, Burne-Jones infuses the scene with symbolic duality: love’s enduring power amidst inevitable decay. Executed in his signature tempera-on-canvas technique, the work showcases meticulous detail, elongated figures, and a dreamlike palette that blurs reality and allegory. As one of his last major works, it epitomizes the late-Victorian Aesthetic Movement’s retreat into idealized escapism, bridging Romanticism and the emerging Symbolist trends. Today, it remains a quintessential example of how Pre-Raphaelite art merged literary inspiration with visual splendor.
For interior spaces, Love Among The Ruins would elevate a study or formal living room with its contemplative aura. Choose a setting with warm, muted tones—deep burgundy walls or oak paneling would harmonize with the painting’s golden hues. Given its vertical composition (99.1 × 152.4 cm), hang it above a fireplace or as a focal point beside floor-to-ceiling bookshelves to amplify its romantic grandeur. Pair it with Victorian-era furnishings: a carved mahogany desk or velvet-upholstered armchairs to echo its medieval influences. Avoid stark modern decor; instead, layer textures like aged brass lamps or Persian rugs to complement the artwork’s timeless decay. In an office, position it where soft lighting can emulate the original’s twilight glow, creating an atmosphere of refined introspection. Its scale demands breathing room—ensure at least 24 inches of clearance on either side to let its narrative resonate.
