The Love Song 1868 - 1877

"The Love Song" is a Pre-Raphaelite painting created between 1868 and 1877 by English artist Edward Burne-Jones. It depicts a knight in armor listening intently to a woman playing a harp, while a second woman sits beside the harpist, seemingly lost in thought. The painting is full of symbolism and emotion, with its rich colors, evocative imagery, and detailed figures. The setting, a garden with flowers, suggests a scene of love and beauty. The knight’s gaze towards the musician, with his hand reaching out, implies his admiration and longing. This painting exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite style, known for its emphasis on beauty, symbolism, and a longing for the past.
