Holy Grail tapestry

 

The Holy Grail tapestries, also known as the "Quest for the Holy Grail" series, are a set of six large-scale tapestries designed by Edward Burne-Jones and woven by Morris & Co., a British decorative arts company founded by William Morris. These tapestries were created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and depict scenes from the Arthurian legend of the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail tapestries are characterized by their intricate designs, rich colors, and attention to detail. They showcase various episodes from the Grail story, including the Grail procession, the knights' quests, and moments of spiritual significance. The tapestries reflect Burne-Jones' interest in medieval themes, his admiration for chivalry, and his fascination with the spiritual and symbolic aspects of the legend.
