Original Description
In Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones’ Study of the Head and Hair of Nimue in ‘The Beguiling of Merlin’, the viewer is drawn into a hauntingly beautiful moment of Arthurian legend. The delicate yet intense rendering of Nimue’s flowing hair and contemplative expression captures the Pre-Raphaelite fascination with medieval romance and feminine mystique. Burne-Jones, a leading figure of the late 19th-century British art movement, infuses the study with a dreamlike quality through his precise draughtsmanship and subtle interplay of light and shadow. This preparatory work for The Beguiling of Merlin—his iconic painting depicting the enchantress ensnaring the wizard—highlights his mastery of symbolism and devotion to idealized beauty. As part of the Aesthetic Movement, which prized "art for art’s sake," the piece exemplifies Burne-Jones’ poetic vision and enduring influence on both European Symbolism and the Arts and Crafts revival.
When incorporating this study into a home or office, its soft yet evocative tones make it ideal for spaces that balance romance and refinement. Hang it in a study or lounge with muted, earthy colors—deep greens, warm ochres, or dusky blues—to enhance its medieval allure. A gilded or aged wooden frame would complement its Pre-Raphaelite origins, while dim, ambient lighting can heighten its dreamy atmosphere. For modern interiors, place it alongside minimalist décor to let its intricate details stand out, or pair it with other Victorian-inspired pieces for a cohesive aesthetic. Given its intimate scale as a study, it works best in smaller, contemplative spaces like reading nooks or private offices, where its quiet intensity can be appreciated up close.
