This comprehensive two-volume catalogue covers the outstanding
collection of English and French medieval stained glass in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Written by curator Jane Hayward,
the catalogue is posthumously published as Part I in the Corpus
Vitrearum series and represents the culmination of Hayward's pioneering
work in the field. 123 panels are examined in depth, ranging from
12th-century border ornaments from the Abbey Church of Saint-Denis to
early 16th-century English Passion glass. The catalogue is illustrated
with hundreds of black and white reproductions and 38 colour plates. It
includes discussions on provenance, collection history, dating, style,
and iconography, as well as detailed descriptions, restoration charts,
and considerations of the current condition of each panel. Mary B
Shepard, Hayward's colleague at The Cloisters, provides an indepth
history of collecting medieval stained glass at The Metropolitan Museum
of Art - a fascinating look at the formative influences behind the
growth of one of the most important collections in the world.
