Sir Edward Burn Jones

The British artist and also a well know designer  Sir Edward Burne Jones was a big part of the Pre Raphelite movement who then later worked hand in hand with William Morris. They did a lot of things together. It was Jones and Morris who introduced Stained glass artwork to the british islands. A beautiful religious work found in the Trinity Church in Boston. This work shows skill and precession to do. Jones was later on pressured into doing eight oil paintings that were to be exhibited at the Grosvenor Gallery. These commissions included the Beguiling of merlin and other prestigious works.
