"Study for an Angel in 'Galahad at the Shrine'" is a preparatory work by the influential British artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and known for his contributions to the revival of the medieval tapestry art form in the 19th century. This study is part of the developmental process for the "Holy Grail Tapestries," a series of works that depict scenes from the Arthurian legend of Sir Galahad's quest for the Holy Grail, a subject that held significant symbolic and narrative appeal during the Victorian era.

The "Holy Grail Tapestries" were designed by Burne-Jones for Morris & Co., the decorative arts firm founded by his close friend and collaborator, William Morris. The tapestries were woven by Morris & Co.'s weavers at their Merton Abbey workshop in Surrey, England. The series was commissioned by William Knox D'Arcy in 1890 for his dining room at Stanmore Hall, and they are considered some of the finest examples of Burne-Jones's work and of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

In creating the "Study for an Angel in 'Galahad at the Shrine'," Burne-Jones would have focused on capturing the ethereal and spiritual qualities of the angelic figure, which plays a crucial role in the narrative tapestry. The study likely served as a means to refine the composition, color, and form before the final weaving process. Such studies were an essential part of Burne-Jones's artistic method, allowing him to experiment with different poses, drapery, and expressions to achieve the desired effect in the finished tapestry.

The "Galahad at the Shrine" tapestry, for which this study was made, illustrates the moment when Sir Galahad, the purest of King Arthur's knights, arrives at the mystical shrine and is deemed worthy to behold the Grail. The angelic figure in the study would be integral to conveying the sanctity and divine presence within the scene.

Burne-Jones's work on the "Holy Grail Tapestries" is notable for its rich symbolism, intricate detail, and the blending of medieval and contemporary artistic influences. The tapestries have been celebrated for their beauty and craftsmanship and are considered a high point in the artist's career. The "Study for an Angel in 'Galahad at the Shrine'" provides insight into Burne-Jones's creative process and the meticulous preparation that underpinned his tapestry designs.
