2. Edward Burne-Jones (Britannica).
Edward Burne-Jones (born August 28, 1833, Birmingham, England—died June 17, 1898, London) was one of the leading painters and designers of late 19th-century England, whose romantic paintings using medieval imagery were among the last manifestations of the Pre-Raphaelite style. More long-lasting is his influence as a pioneer of the revival of the ideal of the “artist-craftsman,” so influential to the development of 20th-century industrial design.
