Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones-Stained Glass-Tapestry
Edward Burne-Jones was a fabulous designer, creating designs for stained glass and wonderful tapestries. This lens is about him as well as leaded or stained glass and tapestry.
British painter, designer, and illustrator Sir Edward Burne-Jones is one of the most well known of the second generation Pre-Raphaelite artists. Born in Birmingham, Burne-Jones mother died six days after giving birth. Having no siblings the lonely child escaped to the world of drawing. Burne-Jones studied theology at Exeter College in Oxford where he met fellow poet and artist William Morris. The two read the writings of Ruskin and studied and the paintings of the Pre-Raphaelites and decided they should devote their lives to art. In 1856, he met Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who became a great influence on directing Burne-Jones art.
In 1860, Burne-Jones married Georgiana Macdonald. Known for her quiet strength, Georgiana provided a balance to the artists high strung personality. He was also a partner in the firm of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co along with William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Madox Brown, and Phillip Webb. 'The Firm', as it was called, began in 1860 and produced interior design, high quality furnishings, stained glass, metal work, tiles, and tapestries. Rossetti and Madox Brown both resigned from the company in 1874. Burne-Jones is known for his efforts in the revival of medieval crafts with the aid of his friend William Morris. His themes are taken from legends and history, often mythological and allegorical characters.
Edward Burne-Jones was elected to the Royal Academy in 1890 but resigned after three years. He designed stained-glass windows, mosaics, and tapestries along with book illustrations under the name of Edward Coley Jones. His designs, along with his medieval crafts style, paved the way for the Arts Nouveau movement. Burne-Jones was knighted in 1894 and died in 1898.

Edward Burne-Jones once said...
As Burne-Jones once said, he "found himself at five-and-twenty what he ought to have been at fifteen." He had had no regular training as a draughtsman, and lacked the confidence of science. But his extraordinary faculty of invention as a designer was already ripening; his mind, rich in knowledge of classical story and medieval romance, teemed with pictorial subjects; and he set himself to complete his equipment by resolute labor, witnessed by innumerable drawings.

The more materialistic science becomes, the more angels shall I paint. Their wings are my protest in favor of the immortality of the soul.

Tapestry-Flora
This tapestry was designed by William Morris (1834 - 1896) and Edward Burne-Jones (1833 - 1898) in 1885. It depicts Flora, the goddess of abundance, who personifies summer, standing barefoot in flowing garments with a wreath in her hair. She holds fresh flowers in her hand, and we can see the intricate floral background, inspired by the Medieval decorative technique known as Mille Fleurs (thousand flowers), demonstrating the artists' admiration for pre-Renaissance art. The piece is also inscribed with the following verse, beautifully rendered in Gothic type:"I am the handmaid of the Earth, I broider fair her glorious gown and deck her on her days of mirth with many a garland of renown and while earth's little onesare fain and play about the mother's hem I scatter every gift I gain from sun and wind to gladden them"
