Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the first part of what will be the only fully comprehensive catalogue of the stained glass of York Minster. In dealing first with the West Window and its fellows, the authors are considering the second largest single area of glass in the Minster, the window that dominates the nave, and which through its patronal and stylistic connections is one of the most important surviving monuments of English painting of the mid-fourteenth century. The catalogue contains a detailed account of each panel of glass, complemented by specially-prepared restoration diagrams. It is accompanied by a series of concise essays placing the west wall in its historical and art historical context. The text is augmented by a wealth of illustrations including a selection of superb details drawn from the authors' own collections. Medieval history; medieval art and iconography; specialists in stained glass.
