"Hope" (1896) by Edward Burne-Jones is a Pre-Raphaelite painting depicting a woman with chained feet, reaching towards a window with a blue curtain, symbolizing hope. The woman's figure, enveloped in a flowing robe, holds a sprig of blossoming flowers, a motif associated with renewal and resilience. This melancholic, yet hopeful composition epitomizes the Pre-Raphaelite style, with its focus on detailed imagery and emotional depth.
