La canción de amor

1868–77
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 516
Este cuadro, una de las obras más celebradas del artista, es la versión final de una serie inspirada en el estribillo de una antigua canción bretona: «Hélas! je sais un chant d’amour, / Triste ou gai, tour à tour» (Ay, sé una canción de amor / a ratos triste, a ratos alegre). Con sus figuras, que recuerdan a las del pintor veneciano del Quattrocento Vittore Carpaccio, y su paisaje «arturiano» bañado en luz vespertina, La canción de amor refleja la profunda influencia del Renacimiento italiano y los fuertes vínculos de Burne-Jones con el movimiento prerrafaelita y su recuperación del gótico.
