A compelling comparison. In Sunset, near Cley, Norfolk, Goodwin synthesises elements of Ruskin’s moralised attentiveness to natural phenomena and Whistler’s interest in mood, harmony, and the evocative power of colour.

This painting is an example Burne-Jones's interest in investigating a mood rather than telling a story. He deliberately made his pictures enigmatic and the meaning of this painting has provoked much debate. One view is that the 18 women are spirits in an enchanted dream. The painting might also be purely decorative. The underlying idea, popularised in the 1870s by the critic Walter Pater, is that "all the arts aspire to the condition of music." Paintings like this can be as much about design as meaning.
