Edward Burne-Jones

We are pleased to announce Edward Burne-Jones: The Pre-Raphaelites and the North - the first monographic show on the artist ever in Scandinavia - which will be shown at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, Stockholm fall 2019 and KODE - Art Museums and Composers Homes, Bergen spring 2020; organised by NIA - Nordic Institute of Art and the two museums, in collaboration with Tate Britain. Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898) is one of the key figures of British art in the latter half of the 19th century; being one of the leading artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement as well as a pioneer of European Symbolism. Together with designer and social reformer William Morris, he was also a prominent member of the Arts & Crafts movement and a forerunner of modern design. Though Burne-Jones is recognised as a leading British and European artist, this will be the first monographic exhibition on the artist in Scandinavia, introducing him to a new audience. The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue will also explore Burne-Jones' impact on Scandinavian art and design. The exhibition is organised in close collaboration with Tate Britain, which this winter presents Edward Burne-Jones in London, the first major show on the artist for many years. Director of Tate Britain, Alex Farquharson, says about the Scandinavian tour: 'Tate is delighted to be supporting the Edward Burne-Jones exhibition at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde, Stockholm, and KODE - Art Museums and Composers Homes, Bergen.
