Composite Window of English Stained Glass

15th century

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 306

The stained glass in this window was assembled by an English dealer early in the twentieth century from at least four different sources. Much of the glass comes from the area of Gloucestershire; additional figures from the apostles and saints series are now in the church of Saint Mary's in Temple Guiting. On the figure of the king, the delicate and richly ornamented style (seen especially in the delicate brocading of the robe) is characteristic of glazing practices in Oxford and London.
