Derweil im Leben von Edward Burne-Jones
Das ganze Leben28. August 1833
Born
1853
Meets William Morris at Oxford
While reading theology at Exeter College, Oxford, Burne-Jones met William Morris. Both were captivated by the Pre-Raphaelites’ paintings, and in time both resolved to give up theology for painting.
1856
Meets Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Admirers of Rossetti’s work, Burne-Jones and Morris met him by recruiting him as a contributor to the “Oxford and Cambridge Magazine”, founded by Morris in 1856 to promote the ideas of their Oxford “Brotherhood”. Under Rossetti’s influence both decided to become artists, and Burne-Jones, who had meant to enter the Church, left Oxford without taking a degree.
1861
Co-founds Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.
William Morris founded a decorative-arts firm with Burne-Jones, Rossetti, Ford Madox Brown, Philip Webb, Charles Faulkner and Peter Paul Marshall as partners. It undertook carving, stained glass, metalwork, wallpapers, printed fabrics and carpets, and from the first the decoration of churches.
May 1877
Triumph at the opening of the Grosvenor Gallery
At the first exhibition of the new Grosvenor Gallery, a rival to the Royal Academy, he showed eight oil paintings, among them “The Days of Creation”, “The Beguiling of Merlin” and “The Mirror of Venus”. Their success made him the herald and star of the new Aesthetic Movement.
