Laus Veneris by Edward Burne-Jones

Edward Burne-Jones produced a vast amount of work throughout his career. He achieved great success in his day and was influential on a number of movements such as the French Symbolists. He was an idealist, he was in pursuit of perfection and this quest led him to the days of knights and maidens.
