Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lower Rhine, Germany

about 1260-80
Clear, coloured and flashed glass, with paint
This panel and another one in the Schnutgen Museum in Cologne formed part of a window that depicted scenes from the life of St Stephen. We do not know its original location, but recent research on the panel in the Victoria & Albert Museum suggests that the window may have been in the Liebfrauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in Trier in Germany. At the time of its acquisition, however, the panel in the Schnutgen Museum was said to come from a Dominican church in Cologne. This would help to explain why St Stephen is depicted in both panels with a monastic tonsure (the crown of his head is shaved), even though he died before monasticism began.
