Sir Edward Burne-Jones, considered one of the greatest nineteenth-century English painters, was also an illustrator, and designer of tapestry and stained glass windows. His work is associated with the latter phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement in art, believing that art should be valued as beauty, and a sensual response as opposed to a moral subject defined. His paintings reflected romantic dreams, and picturesque scenes of how one would want things to be. His initial art received and endured a great deal of criticism. With time and wider exposure of his works, he became a requested and widely- respected artist.
