Description
"When Burne-Jones' mural sized canvas of 'King Cophetua and the beggar maid' was exhibited in the shadow of the newly constructed Eiffel Tower at the Paris Exposition universelle in 1889, it caused a sensation scarcely less extraordinary than the tower itself. Burne-Jones was awarded not only a gold medal at the exhibition but also the cross of the Légion d'honneur. He became one of those rare "Anglo-Saxons" who from Constable in the early nineteenth century to Jerry Lewis in the late twentieth century, have been taken into the hearts of the French intelligentsia." -- page 5.
