The Annunciation by Burne-Jones |
|
|
| This picture was originally in the collection of George Howard, 9th Earl of Carlisle, patron & friend of the painter, & himself an artist. Burne Jones had originally intended to study for the Anglican priesthood. There is good evidence to suggest that he did not sustain his faith, for which the mysticism of his paintings became a substitute. This lovely subtly toned picture is a good example of this. |
