Edward Burne-Jones' 'The Failure of Sir Gawaine' tapestry, part of the 'Quest for the Holy Grail' series, embodies the romance and idealism of the Arts and Crafts movement. This fine art print brings historical grandeur and artistic sophistication to any interior.

This tapestry, titled 'The Failure of Sir Gawaine', is part of the 'Quest for the Holy Grail' series designed by the eminent British artist Edward Burne-Jones between 1895 and 1896. Burne-Jones, a key figure in the Arts and Crafts movement, imbued his works with a sense of medieval romance and Pre-Raphaelite idealism. The tapestry depicts Sir Gawaine, one of King Arthur's knights, failing in his quest for the Holy Grail. He is shown on horseback, accompanied by other knights, encountering an angel who bars his way, symbolising his spiritual unworthiness. The scene is rendered in rich, muted colours and intricate detail, characteristic of the Arts and Crafts aesthetic. The tapestry's composition is carefully balanced, with the figures arranged against a backdrop of a dense forest and a stone structure. The overall effect is one of otherworldly beauty and moral allegory. As a fine art print, this work brings a touch of historical grandeur and artistic sophistication to any interior. Its intricate details and rich colour palette make it a captivating focal point, ideal for adding depth and character to living rooms, studies, or hallways.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
