Original Description
The Passing of Arthur by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones is a hauntingly beautiful representation of the legendary king’s final journey, steeped in the dreamlike melancholy of the Pre-Raphaelite tradition. The scene captures Arthur, wounded and shrouded in a ghostly pallor, being tended to by mourning figures in a mystical boat, evoking a sense of solemn grandeur and ethereal sorrow. Painted in 1881 as part of the Holy Grail Tapestries series for Morris & Co., the work embodies the Romantic revival of Arthurian legends and Burne-Jones’s signature style—elongated figures, intricate detailing, and a rich, jewel-toned palette reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts. Historically, it reflects the late 19th-century fascination with chivalric themes and symbolism, cementing Burne-Jones’s legacy as a bridge between Pre-Raphaelitism and the Aesthetic Movement. Its poetic gravity and mythic resonance make it a cornerstone of Victorian narrative art.
For decorating with The Passing of Arthur, consider placing it as a focal point in a study, library, or office, where its dramatic storytelling enhances an atmosphere of contemplation. Its Gothic-tinged grandeur pairs well with dark wood furnishings, velvet upholstery in deep greens or blues, and wrought-iron accents to echo its medieval inspiration. The painting’s rich hues—sapphire, emerald, and gold—can be subtly echoed in throw pillows, rugs, or stained glass elements. A spacious wall is ideal given its likely large dimensions (Burne-Jones’s works often spanned several feet), ensuring it commands attention without overcrowding the room. For balance, avoid overly ornate surroundings—let the artwork shine alongside minimalist bookshelves or a sleek, contemporary desk to create a harmonious dialogue between old-world allure and modern sophistication.
