A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Angel Christmas Cards Fine Art Burne-Jones




Angel Christmas Cards Fine Art Burne-Jones

Angel Playing a Flageolet Edward Coley Burne-Jones

Angel Playing a Flageolet, tempera and gold paint on paper, c. 1878 by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Palette is drawn from the Renaissance, rich in red, blue and gold.

Fully customizable, so you can change the message, even the typeface, font color and size and more. Personalize it by changing the example names to your name(s).

Matching note cards, postcards, postage stamps, stickers, gift tags and more are available in my gallery's Angels Collection.

About the original work of art: Burne-Jones painted two sets of three angels playing musicalinstruments, a small set in oil and a larger one in tempera. (Tempera was a medium favored by Italian Renaissance artists and involved the fusion of pigments with water and egg yolk. Burne-Jones was one of the few -- if not the only -- Aesthetic Movement artists to revive its use.

The artist retained this work in his own studio for ten years before parting with it to the dealers from whom it was immediately bought. Ah, I can understand why the artist was loathe to part with it, and why a buyer immediately snapped it up.
