The Construction of the Ark - Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones
The architectural and poetic scene of The Building of the Ark
The Building of the Ark unfolds a solemn composition where human figures and mythical structures respond to each other in a muted yet luminous palette. Burne-Jones plays with the vertical lines of the edifice and the elongated drapery of the characters to create a sense of gravity and hope, blending ochre and bluish tones with warmer accents. The refined touch and attention to detail give the whole an almost ceremonial atmosphere, both intimate and monumental. This sensitive interpretation highlights each gesture, each architectural element, inviting the viewer to explore the scene slowly and contemplatively.
