Love (1894), the Garden Court (c1894) & Launcelot’s Dream (1895-6). Again magnificent in their romance, these works demonstrate Burne-Jones’ ability to create mesmeric atmosphere
The Tree of Forgiveness (1881-2), Death of Medusa (1882) & the Doom (1882). These are some of his most important works in their strange mysticism
