El diluvio

1531
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 502
Este vitral, junto con Moisés presentando las Tablas de la Ley (también en la colección del Museo) y cinco más, decoraban el coro de la iglesia del priorato benedictino de Saint–Firmin en Flavigny-sur-Moselle, Lorena. El prior Wary de Lucy los encargó a Valentin Bousch de Metz, uno de los maestros vidrieros más importantes en el nordeste de Francia durante el Renacimiento septentrional. Rechazando la división tradicional en compartimientos, Bousch trató cada composición como un enorme retablo pintado o tallado dentro de un marco arquitectónico en trampantojo. Combinó piezas de vidrio de brillantes colores con otras pintadas en grisalla, o bien otras de vidrio transparente tintadas con plata, todas ellas cortadas con prodigiosa precisión.
