watercolour and bodycolour heightened with gold
64.5 x 98.5 cm
1887

Painted in preparation for a tapestry to be made at the works set up at Merton Abbey by William Morris in 1881 probably for Exeter College, Oxford (where both Burne-Jones and morris had been undergraduates).

the painting itself seems never to have been started, though it was a subject that fascinated him and he made a number of drawings and studies that seem to relate to a proposed painting (originally promised to Frederick Leyland in about 1891).

(Sir) Edward Coley Burne-Jones - Triptych : the Adoration of the Kings : The Annunciation

three panels, oil on canvas
commissioned by St Paul's Church, Brighton
where it was displayed on the High Alter till 1975 when it was moved to the local art gallery
