Design for ‘The Parable of the Vineyard: The Vintage Feast, No.5’ Stained Glass

This design is one of seven cartoons for stained glass windows at St. Martin's, Scarborough designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti from 1861. All of the designs are held at the William Morris Gallery and the series is referred to in a letter from Rossetti to Ford Madox Brown on 1 December 1861 'I'm doing the Parable of the Vineyard for the shop glass; I think you have a number of 'The Pictorial History of England' with a Saxon wine-press in it. Would you kindly send it to me by book post? If you've anything else in the Vineyard line you might include it '.

The seven panels were designed for the East Window of St. Martin's, together with a Christ on the Cross with the Virgin and St. John by Ford Madox Brown. All seven panels were shown at the International Exhibition, London 1862 before being installed in the church.
