Hymenaeus

Hymenaeus, a painting by Edward Burne-Jones, created in 1869. 



The artwork depicts three figures, predominantly in shades of orange and red, against a dark green background. The central figure, a woman, plays a lyre. She is dressed in a long, flowing robe. To her right, two other women are embraced, also wearing long robes of similar color. The background is relatively simple, with a suggestion of a stone pedestal behind the lyre player and hints of blue flowers at the bottom. The overall style is Pre-Raphaelite, characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and fabrics, and the symbolic nature of the scene. The painting is in the collection of the Delaware Art Museum. The exact dimensions are not provided in the metadata.
