Beschreibung
A detailed stained glass design by Edward Burne-Jones, depicting the biblical narrative of King David instructing Solomon.
This stained glass composition depicts the biblical scene of King David instructing his son, Solomon, regarding the construction of the Temple. Designed by Edward Burne-Jones and executed by the firm Morris & Co., the work reflects the aesthetic principles of the late Pre-Raphaelite movement. Burne-Jones was a frequent collaborator with William Morris, and their partnership produced numerous ecclesiastical commissions that sought to revive the medieval tradition of narrative glass.
The composition is organised into a clear, hierarchical structure. At the centre, the aged King David sits upon a throne, gesturing towards Solomon, who stands to his right. The surrounding space is filled with figures of scribes, attendants, and courtiers, all rendered with the characteristic elongated proportions and melancholic expressions typical of Burne-Jones. The use of lead lines creates a grid that frames the narrative, while the colour palette relies on deep reds, blues, and golden ochres to define the figures against the architectural setting.
Burne-Jones prioritised the linear quality of his designs, ensuring that the figures remained distinct despite the complexity of the scene. The drapery of the garments is handled with attention to weight and movement, suggesting the influence of early Renaissance painting, which the artist studied extensively. The lower portion of the window includes figures engaged in the practical tasks of recording and planning, providing a grounded contrast to the regal authority displayed above. This work demonstrates the collaborative nature of the Morris & Co. studio, where Burne-Jones provided the initial cartoons and the glass painters translated his vision into the final medium. It remains a representative example of the Victorian Gothic Revival, demonstrating a return to craftsmanship and narrative clarity in decorative arts.

David's Charge to Solomon - Edward Burne-Jones
Artist Biography
Edward Burne Jones
Though closely associated with Rossetti, Burne-Jones forged his own distinct path, drawing inspiration from Arthurian romances, classical mythology, and the burgeoning Symbolist movement. His works, such as 'The Beguiling of Merlin' and 'King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid', are not mere illustrations but rather explorations of complex emotional states and timeless human dramas. He embraced decorative arts, designing stained glass, tapestries, and mosaics, believing in the unity of art and life.
Burne-Jones's influence extended far beyond his own lifetime. His emphasis on beauty, imagination, and the evocative power of art paved the way for the Aesthetic movement and later Symbolist painters. Collecting a Burne-Jones print allows one to bring a touch of medieval romance and ethereal beauty into the everyday, a reminder of the power of art to transport and transform.
