Made for Birket Foster's house at Witley in Surrey, called 'The Hill'. The subjects of the four stained glass panels are based on imaginary incidents in the life of King Rene of Anjou and show scenes from his 'honeymoon'. Depicting 'Art', this window is one of a series of four imaginary episodes from the honeymoon of King René of Anjou, said to have been inspired by Sir Walter Scott's popular novel 'Anne of Geierstein'. Though the novel was a favourite of Foster's, the series was originally designed to decorate a cabinet commissioned by the architect John P. Seddon (1827-1906). The cabinet was among the furniture shown at the International Exhibition of 1862. The designs for these four panels were originally made for the cabinet displayed below. They depict incidents from the honeymoon of King René, who was 'endowed with a love of fine arts'. The stained glass was made by Morris, Marshall Faulkner & Co., London, for the house of the painter Myles Birket Foster at Whitley, Surrey. [27/03/2003]
