In 1862 Burne-Jones made four designs for stained glass illustrating the story of Tristram and Isoude from Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur'. These were part of a group commissioned by Walter Dunlop for his home at Bingley in Yorkshire. Other designs for the set were provided by Rossetti, Madox Brown, Morris, Valentine Prinsep and Arthur Hughes; the stained glass is now in Bradford City Art Gallery. Late in 1862 Burne-Jones reworked three of his cartoons as watercolours, including 'The Madness of Sir Tristram.'
