Night 1870

Edward Burne-Jones' "Night" is a symbolic Pre-Raphaelite painting created in 1870. A lone female figure, dressed in flowing blue drapery, stands against a backdrop of a starry, midnight sky. The woman, with her outstretched hand, seems to be reaching out to the celestial expanse, evoking a sense of yearning or longing. The work, with its ethereal atmosphere and idealized female form, captures the Romanticism and symbolism characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
