Artist: Edward Burne-Jones
Artwork: The Masque of Pandora
Description: This painting depicts a scene from the Greek myth of Pandora. In the myth, Pandora was the first woman created by the gods. She was given a box as a gift from Zeus but was forbidden to open it. However, she eventually succumbed to her curiosity and opened the box, releasing all of the evils into the world. The painting shows Pandora at the moment she opens the box, and the evils are depicted as a dark cloud escaping from it.
