Burne-Jones was instrumental in the resurgence of traditional stained-glass art in Britain, his works include windows in cathedrals and churches throughout England. He later formed a company, creating furnishings and decorative arts, alongside friends, such as, William Morris, the company was called, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. In 1877, Burne-Jones was urged to exhibit eight oil paintings at the newly founded Grosvenor Gallery, (a rival to the Royal Academy).
