Faces in the Fire. Artist: Elihu Vedder (American, New York 1836-1923 Rome). Dimensions: 31 x 22 1/8 in. (78.7 x 56.2 cm). Date: 1887, cast 1888.Like so many artists of the Aesthetic movement, Vedder enjoyed experimenting with various media. Although he was primarily a painter, he also undertook decorative sculpture, ceramic-tile and stained-glass design, and book illustration. While living in New York in the early 1880s, he completed a series of decorative firebacks treating themes of warmth appropriate to the hearth. This low-relief panel, modeled in Rome, relates to the firebacks aesthetically and thematically. Its idealized subject and ten classicizing heads reveal Vedder's interest in the English Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist movements, as well as the impact of Michelangelo's monumental figures for the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
