Birmingham Cathedral (St. Philip's) - Edward Burne-Jones Stained Glass

            The Ascension.

In 1885 a new stained glass window designed by Edward Burne-Jones and made by Morris & Company was installed in the main east window. The two flanking east windows followed in 1887 and the west window in 1897, also designed by Burne-Jones and made by Morris & Co. These windows are highly important works of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, designed by an internationally renowned artist at the height of his powers.

‘The Ascension’.  This along with ‘The Nativity’ and ‘The Crucifixion’ illustrate the high level of workmanship reached by the studio craftsmen.  Bowman and Dearle were responsbile for all three.

Christ ascends into Glory in the company of angels in dazzling pinks and reds. Below the Apostles and Mary gaze up in awe (many of their faces darkened by heavy washes of flesh toned paint).
