The Cumaean Sibyl (1877). Edward Burne-Jones (British, 1833-1898). Oil on panel.This work is a fine example of Burne-Jones’ breaking away from the conventional canvas size and presentation of paintings. He was fascinated with strongly linear composition which suited his somewhat flat technique (especially with draperies) and the challenges of presenting and exaggerating the subjects with the size and shapes of his canvases. -- source link
