Abstract
Annotation: tapestry made in the workshop of William Morris – Morris & Co shows the ideas that were carried away by the second wave Pre-Raphaelites. A thorough study of this unique experiment allows us to better understand the intention of the authors of the tapestry, and the study of the interpretations of the work allows us to significantly expand its semantic field. The text of the article contains an explanation of the composition and symbols of the tapestry, which was undertaken by foreign researchers of the work of Edward Burne-Jones. The works of these scientists were not published in Russian. This article analyzes in detail the iconography of the tapestry, uses the interpretation of the floral motifs of the composition in line with Christian floral symbolism. The botanical identification of all plants depicted on the tapestry is given, and their classification is given based on medieval flower symbolism.
