Frederic William Burton Fine Art Print, Dreams

 

Dreams - The Story

This painting is important, not only because of its inherent beauty, but because it is the first time Burton features a striking young child model who will later appear in his masterpiece The Child Miranda of 1864 and Clematis of c.1865. In these latter two paintings D. G. Rossetti was the obvious influence but this initial painting is more reminiscent of portraits of children by John Everett Millais. Burton’s model is clothed in white emphasizing the purity and innocence of childhood. James Whistler’s Symphony in White series may also have influenced it. Burton’s picture, in turn, may have influenced both Whistler and Millais. Its composition is very similar to Whistler’s etching Weary of 1863. Both Burton and Whistler may have influenced Millais’s Sisters of 1868, an Aesthetic portrait of Millais’s three eldest daughters dressed in identical white dresses, as well as his Portrait of Nina Lehmann of 1868-69. In Dreams the young girl hold a sprig of clematis in her hand, similar to Clematis, but in this case the flowers are pink and not white. This flower was likely included for symbolic purposes. In the language of flowers a pink clematis symbolizes caring and love of family and the power of long-term friendships and deep family ties.
