Barmherziger Ritter

ID: #6318 | Klassizismus | Menschen

Das Gemälde zeigt eine Szene, in der ein Ritter in Rüstung seinen Helm abnimmt, nachdem er nach Hause zurückgekehrt ist. Der Ritter befindet sich in einer hölzernen Pergola, die von Blumen umgeben ist und eine grüne Landschaft überblickt. Das Gegenüber des Ritters ist eine Statue, die ihn scheinbar erstaunt anschaut. Im Vordergrund ist auch der treue Hund des Ritters zu sehen, der liegend seinen Herrn aufmerksam beobachtet. Die ganze Szene hat einen romantischen und erzählerischen Reichtum.

Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898) was an English universal artist. He painted, illustrated, made jewellery, tapestries and designed theatrical costumes. He was born into a framer’s family. His mother died a few days after his birth, and so he was brought up by his father and a tyrannical housekeeper. Often, he sought to escape her tyranny into his own mind and imagination, where he surrounded himself with heroic imaginings. While studying theology, he became acquainted with the writer William Morris and painter John Ruskin. Along with Morris, who contributed to his decision to leave his studies at Oxford, Jones founded a company for the production of stained glass. In his masterpieces, the influence of Sandro Botticelli and Mantegna Andrey is evident. He came to recognition in 1877 at an exhibition at the Grosvenor Gallery, in which he exhibited eight oil paintings. During his life, he managed to marry into the influential English family, the MacDonalds, and attain a noble title. He lived the later days of his life, however, in a depression from the death of his best friend Morris. He was buried in Westminister Abbey.
