BURNE-JONES, EDWARD, born in Birmingham, England, Aug. 28, 1833. Student at Exeter College, Oxford, with William Morris and Swinburne, the latter of whom dedicated to him his first volume of poems; went to London in 1856 and became a pupil of D. G. Rossetti, whose manner he imitated for several years, but he soon formed a style of his own, inclining more to idealism and abstract beauty than to realism, and he is now one of the chief exponents in England of the romantic school. In 1857-58 he was associated with Rossetti, Morris, Prinsep, and others, in painting the Arthurean frescos on the walls of the Oxford Union Debating Room. In 1861 he was one of the originators of the now well-known house of Morris & Co., and he has made many designs for stained glass windows and other decorative work. His studio is at the Grange, Hammersmith Road, in the house of Richardson the novelist. Elected an A.R.A. in 1885.
