Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898)


Artist and designer born in Birmingham in 1833 as Edward Jones. He was educated at Exeter College, Oxford, where he first met William Morris. Jones became a pupil of Dante Gabriel Rossetti and developed his characteristic Pre-Raphaelite style, which is found throughout his work as a painter, book illustrator and designer of tapestries and stained glass. Jones first designed stained glass in 1856, and following several notable works made by James Powell & Sons, he joined Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1861. When the firm was reformed as Morris & Co. in 1875 under Morris' sole control, Burne-Jones became responsible for designing most of the figures and scenes for the stained glass made by the firm. His designs continued to be used by Morris & Co. long after his death in 1898, and his work was influential on others, notably Henry Holiday and his circle.

Edward Coley Burne-Jones was knighted in 1894, and his last major window was made for the west wall of the church at Hawarden.
