Original Description
Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones’ St Theophilus And The Angel: A Legend Of The Martyrdom Of St Dorothea is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece, suffused with ethereal beauty and medieval symbolism. The painting depicts a celestial encounter between St Theophilus and an angel bearing flowers—a reference to the martyrdom of St Dorothea, who famously sent heavenly blossoms to her doubter before her execution. Bathed in soft, luminous hues and intricate drapery, the work exudes a dreamlike serenity, characteristic of Burne-Jones’ fascination with Arthurian legends and sacred narratives. Created during the late 19th century, it embodies the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood’s rejection of industrial modernity in favor of romanticized medievalism and spiritual depth. Today, it stands as a testament to Burne-Jones’ mastery of storytelling through visual poetry, securing his place as a pivotal figure in Victorian art and the Aesthetic Movement.
For decor enthusiasts, this painting would elevate a study, library, or formal living room with its refined elegance. Ideal spaces include rooms with warm, muted tones—think rich woods, taupe, or deep greens—that harmonize with its delicate palette of golds, blues, and ivories. Position it as a focal point above a mantel or a vintage writing desk, framed in an ornate gold or walnut frame to enhance its medieval allure. Given its narrative depth, pair it with other Pre-Raphaelite works or Gothic-inspired decor like stained-glass accents or velvet furnishings. A medium-to-large size (roughly 24x36 inches or larger) ensures its details captivate without overwhelming intimate spaces, while dimmable lighting can accentuate its luminous quality. Perfect for creating a contemplative yet sophisticated atmosphere in both homes and executive offices.
