"Rose of Heaven" is a 1905 work by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burne-Jones. The artwork is a circular composition, depicting a female figure standing on a crescent moon composed of birds. She holds a mirror and stares intensely at the viewer. The composition is reminiscent of religious iconography, and the work may be interpreted as an allegorical representation of the spiritual journey. The use of birds, the moon, and a celestial background further enhances this interpretation. Burne-Jones was known for his intricate details and mystical symbolism, and this work exemplifies his characteristic style.
