Victorian Art in Britain

 The Beguiling of Merlin by Burne-Jones



This painting is taken from the Arthurian Legends the painter loved. It is a most beautiful picture. The model for Nimue was Maria Zambaco, with whom the artist had a passionate, but doomed affair in the 1870s. The title is most descriptive, as the painting beguiles the viewer to this day.
