The Royal Academy exhibited his work eleven times between 1898 and 1918, and his work was also shown in the Paris Salon of 1900.
There he exhibited his portrait of his father, now in the National Portrait Gallery. He painted the portraits of many well-known individuals of the time.
His most famous work, The Vampire, depicting a woman straddling an unconscious man, was believed to have been modelled by the actress Mrs Patrick Campbell, with whom Burne-Jones had been romantically linked. The painting also inspired Rudyard Kipling"s poem of the same name.
Having a famous father was difficult for him, and it was Philip"s fate in life that his work was often compared unfavourably with that of his father.
Upon his father"s death in 1898, Philip succeeded to the title of baronet that had been bestowed on his father in 1894. lieutenant is said that his father had accepted the title only because Philip was so keen to inherit lieutenant Burne-Jones visited the United States in 1902, where he was popular in fashionable society.
He lived out most of his life in London, where he died in 1926.
