Online Talk: Heavenly Bodies: Edward Burne-Jones and Pre-Raphaelite Stained Glass

Sheffield Museums – Join Dr. Suzanne Fagence Cooper for this online talk on Pre-Raphaelite stained glass. 

All the leading lights of the Pre-Raphaelite movement turned their hand to designing stained glass. The most prolific were Edward Burne-Jones and his friend William Morris, who created spectacular choirs of angels, hosts of saints and images of Creation. This lecture reveals some unexpected Victorian masterpieces art tucked away in our churches, and puts them into the wider context of the Pre-Raphaelite revolution in art.
