On of the personifications of Vice designed for stained glass at Jesus College, Cambridge. Accompanied by the appropriate Virtues at the West end of the nave. Several of the cartoons are listed in the account books, dated August 1875, the year in which Burne-Jones was also working on designs for the Vices painted and carved upon the walls of Mirth's garden in the 'Romaunt of the Rose'. They show clearly the 'use of those elaborately folded and wrinkled draperies which are so characteristic of much of his later work' (Bell). These appear first in the drawing of 'Temperance', 1872-3, but were developed more fully after Burne-Jones' visit to Italy in 1873, when among other exercises, he drew after the black and white designs by artists such as Francesco di Giorgio on the Cathedral floor in Siena.
This striking design [Rage] for one of four panels in the lower part of a window is in the nave at Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge. They symbolize the passions, contrasted with emblematic figures of contemplative Christian virtues above. In Burne-Jones s account book, undated but after September 20, 1875, is the record: "Injustice — a panel to go under Justice £10. Fear, under Fortitude £10. Folly, under Prudence £10. Rage, under Temperance £10." 1 There are few cartoons as dramatic as these among Burne-Jones s work for Morris, and even on a north wall their glowing colours and sense of dynamic tension are remarkable.
