Bath of Venus
Sir Edward Burne-Jones British
Not on view
Burne-Jones made a painting of "The Bath of Venus" between 1873 and 1878 (Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon), and here seems to have returned to the subject at a later date. The artist experimented with metallic pigments on colored papers in his last decade, and this example appeared in the posthumous sale of his studio in 1898, and was acquired by the Museum in 1908.
