"The Vision of the Holy Grail" is a series of tapestries designed by the British artist John Henry Dearle (1860–1932) for Morris & Co., the decorative arts firm founded by William Morris. Dearle was a prominent figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement and worked closely with Morris, eventually becoming the company's chief designer after Morris's death in 1896. The tapestry series, created at the turn of the 20th century, is one of Dearle's most significant contributions to the revival of tapestry weaving in England.

The series depicts scenes from the Arthurian legend of the quest for the Holy Grail, a theme that was popular among the Pre-Raphaelite artists and designers associated with Morris & Co. The narrative of the tapestries is inspired by medieval literature and the romantic revival of interest in chivalric ideals. Dearle's work on "The Vision of the Holy Grail" is characterized by its rich, vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and the portrayal of detailed figures in a medieval setting, which aligns with the aesthetic principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

Each tapestry in the series illustrates a different moment from the Grail legend, featuring key characters such as Sir Galahad, Sir Percival, and Sir Bors. The designs often include a complex interplay of floral and vegetal motifs, a hallmark of Dearle's style, which he developed under the mentorship of William Morris. The tapestries were woven by hand at the Merton Abbey Mills, the textile workshops established by Morris to produce high-quality handcrafted items.

"The Vision of the Holy Grail" tapestries are considered important works of British textile art and are notable for their role in the resurgence of tapestry weaving as a fine art form in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They exemplify the collaborative nature of Morris & Co., with Dearle's designs being brought to life by skilled craftsmen and weavers. Today, the tapestries are held in various collections and continue to be appreciated for their beauty and craftsmanship, as well as their representation of the ideals of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
