Our #WorkOfTheWeek is the last major painting that Edward Burne-Jones completed. 🖌️ 🖼️   It was dedicated to his close friend, the poet Algernon Swinburne. The idea of the God of Love guiding a Pilgrim on his quest comes from The Romaunt of the Rose by the medieval poet Geoffrey Chaucer, a book that Burne-Jones had read while a student at Oxford. The book influenced many of the works he produced in collaboration with William Morris. Here, Love is presented both as a Christian angel and as Cupid, the classical god of love.   🎨 Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, Bt, Love and the Pilgrim, 1896–7. Tate Collection
