The Marriage of Tristram and Isoude Les Blanches Main

The Marriage of Tristram and Isoude Les Blanches Main (Burne-Jones)
This panel, by the Morris firm's most used designer, is typical of his ethereal, evocative and uncluttered style, particularly suited to stained glass. Tristram had been banished by King Mark of Cornwall, and after serving King Howell of Brittanny, marries another Isoude, Isoude Les Blanches Mains. The careful grouping of the figures, and the rich colours and design of the robes are extremely effective.
