Burne-Jones, The Golden Stairs
They're holding musical instruments. They're not really playing them. The horns are held vertically.발음듣기
We see a long stream of figures, holding musical instruments walking down this winding staircase.발음듣기
Steven: Not just any figures, but these young women in these long classicized gowns in this wonderful Italian invented architecture.발음듣기
Beth: But it's also really poetic and evocative and I think that sense of mystery was really important to Burne-Jones.발음듣기
Steven: This is a painting that for me, is so much about the idea of progression and he's using the visual to create musical scale.발음듣기
We have the stairs functioning almost as a ladder of tone and we have the figures alternating between silvers and gold, 발음듣기
that kind of patterning that's taking place and of course there's the invocation of music because of the instruments as well, 발음듣기
but it's this beautiful, tight relationship that's being created between the figures and the architecture all of which seems to recall beautiful, harmonious sound.발음듣기
Beth: We get a sense of before and after, that they're coming out of a space that we can see at the top left.발음듣기
They move down the stairs. They walk into this doorway and one figure right at the doorway, stops and turns back, That does give it a sense of some important passage of time.발음듣기
I think the artist is, perhaps, thinking about how can a painting exist over time in the way that music does.발음듣기
Beth: Two possible titles for this before it was titled The Golden Stairs were The King's Music and Music on the Stairs and that idea of the King's Music makes me think that music for a royal court and almost even reminds me of the angels in van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece playing the music of heaven.발음듣기
There's something about the repetition of those figures and the sameness of their faces and the way that they don't exactly communicate with one another, that they appear to be in their own world, that really gives us a sense of an interior life.발음듣기
Beth: The British public were used to seeing paintings that showed very specific subjects that they were familiar with, from Shakespeare or ancient Greek and Roman mythology or other literary sources.발음듣기
