Product Description
This study examines the stained glass produced between 1250 and 1325 in western France during the late Capetian era. Illustrated with images never before published, including many from French churches now closed to the public, it chronicles a period which begins with the knights' return from the Crusades and ends with the onset of economic uncertainty and unrest that preceded the Hundred Years' War. The author identifies painters, glazing shops, working methods, models and sources in an attempt to argue that the stained glass is a major style with its own evolution and character, and not a transitional and provincial artform.
