Description

The Last Judgement Object: Design for stained glass

Date: 1896

Museum number: 1000-1901

Morris & Company commissioned this design for stained glass for the west window of St Philip's Cathedral, Birmingham, which was erected in 1897. It provides an example of Burne-Jones's practice of making photographic enlargements of his designs and then working on them further in paint and chalk. The design represents Christ at his Second Coming surrounded by angels above a town in a state of upheaval. In the foreground is a frieze of women and children, some standing on tombs from which they have emerged. The elongated figures clothed in complex folds of drapery are typical of Burne-Jones's mature style. The design is remarkable for its subdued, even deathly, colour scheme. It lacks the intense reds and blues of the completed stained glass.
