Stained glass of the middle ages in England and France

A detailed study of medieval stained glass presents how windows were made and traces stylistic development across the twelfth to fifteenth centuries in England and France. It explains technical processes, materials, and decorative devices such as grisaille, canopy work, heraldry, and narrative cycles, and surveys representative windows at Canterbury, Chartres, Rouen, York and other sites. The author analyzes changing styles and workshop practices, the iconographic programs that pair Old Testament types with New Testament antitypes, the role of donors, and issues of preservation, accompanied by colored drawings that illustrate key motifs and panels.
