Design for the decoration of the Red House: 'The Wedding Procession of Sir Degrevaunt'
Draughtsman: Burne-Jones, Edward
Height: 265 mm
Width: 265 mm
Method of acquisition: Given (1917-05) by Murray, Charles Fairfax
Production date: AD 1860
A design for the mural executed in the summer of 1860 at the Red House, illustrated (fig. 1) in the 1975 A.C. Catalogue. There is a very similar drawing at the R.I.B.A. collection, and a study squared for transfer at Birmingham (Nos. 64 and 63 in catalogue). John Christian writes: 'The composition seems to be inspired by Giotto's fresco of 'The Wedding Procession of the Virgin' in the Arena Chapel, Padua, which Burne-Jones would have known from the woodcuts published by the Arundel Society in 185360, whith notes by Ruskin'.
