OIL PAINTING: The Lament, 1865-1866
Edward Burne-Jones traveled to Italy in 1859 with John Ruskin where he saw and greatly admired the early Italian Renaissance painters like Botticelli, da Vinci, Michaelangelo, and Mantegna from whose paintings Burne-Jones took a great deal of inspiration. It can well be observed in ''The Lament''. Burne-Jones greatly admired Dante Gabriel Rossetti and was deeply in his thrall until around the early 1860s when he developed his own distinctive style.
