O dilúvio

Valentin Bousch French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 502

Este vitral, juntamente com Moisés apresentando as tábuas da lei (também na coleção do Museu) e outras cinco obras, decoravam o coro da igreja do mosteiro beneditino de Saint-Firmin, em Flavigny-sur-Moselle, Lorraine. O trabalho foi encomendado pelo prior Wary de Lucy e e construído por Valentin Bousch de Metz, um dos melhores mestres de vitrais do nordeste da França durante o Renascimento setentrional. Bousch rejeitou a tradicional divisão em compartimentos e, em vez disso, tratou cada composição como um retábulo enorme pintado ou esculpido dentro de um quadro de arquitetura trompe-l’oeil. Tons vibrantes de vidro colorido são combinados com áreas pintadas em grisaille e com vidro transparente pintado com prata e cortados com habilidade extraordinária.

The Deluge, Valentin Bousch (French, active 1514–41, died 1541), Glass, painted and stained, French, Lorraine, Metz
