The Farewell, 1907
Mixed media on board
145mm x 200mm
Cayley Robinson’s work owes much to the work of the later Pre-Raphaelite period. The medieval scenes are romantic visions. Any action in these pictures is pushed towards the edges of the scenes, creating a curious tension and suggesting that the viewer is being given only a glimpse of an alternative world.
The indecipherable relationships between the figures, the persistently obscure narratives and the limited palette recalls the work of the French Symbolist Pierre Puvis de Chavannes and reveals Cayley Robinson’s admiration for the work of Edward Burne-Jones and the Renaissance artist Fra Angelico.
