The Love Song, 1868–77, Oil on canvas, 45 x 61 3/8 in. (114.3 x 155.9 cm), Paintings, Sir Edward Burne-Jones (British, Birmingham 1833–1898 Fulham), Burne-Jones associated this painting with a refrain from a Breton folk ballad: 'Alas, I know a love song, / Sad or happy, each in turn.' Drawing inspiration from the gothicizing Pre-Raphaelite movement, the artist conjured a twilight scene with a richly romantic, medieval air, enhanced by allusions to Italian Renaissance art, from the warm, dewy colors to the gracious figures and original frame, which recalls sixteenth-and-seventeenth-century Venetian designs
