Figurative Art

      Burne-Jones had used Malory's text for early versions of the subject such as the 1861 watercolour of Merlin and Nimue in the Victoria and Albert Museum. In this version Nimue escaped the attentions of an infatuated Merlin by luring him to his doom under an enchanted stone from which he could not escape. However, for this later work at the Lady Lever Art Gallery, Burne-Jones used a passage of text from the late medieval French 'Romance of Merlin' as his inspiration for The Beguiling of Merlin. In this story Nimue is very much more of a femme fatale figure. She beguiles and lures a powerless Merlin to his fate as they walk together in the forest of Broceliande. She is described as having snakes entwined in her hair just like the monstrous figure of classical mythology, Medusa, who turned those who looked at her to stone.

The painting is fantastic, just having trouble deciding where to hang it as it looks good everywhere. The painting was very well packaged and arrived in good time. I was concerned that it was coming from quite a long way away and might get damaged but I will have no concerns again. I love the painting so much, I am looking at purchasing another.
