EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Ariadne" created in 1867. The artwork, rendered with watercolor and gouache on wove paper, measures 39.9x22.1 cm and is housed in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, Canada. The painting depicts Ariadne, the daughter of King Minos from Greek mythology. In this scene, she is portrayed as a powerful and mythical figure. Ariadne famously aided Theseus by providing him with a ball of thread to navigate the labyrinth and defeat the fearsome Minotaur. Burne-Jones skillfully captures Ariadne's beauty and strength through his use of vibrant colors and intricate details. The artist employs opaque white highlights heightened with gum Arabic to add depth and luminosity to the composition. This stunning piece transports viewers back to ancient Greece, immersing them in its rich mythological heritage. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of legends and their ability to captivate our imaginations across centuries. The acquisition of this artwork by the Art Gallery of Ontario was made possible through a purchase made in memory of Alan Flacks in 2007. This print not only preserves Burne-Jones' artistic legacy but also pays homage to Greek mythology's timeless allure.
