Medieval and Renaissance Stained Glass in the Victoria and Albert Museum by Paul Williamson

Medieval and Renaissance Stained Glass in the Victoria and Albert Museum by Paul Williamson

The stained glass collection of the V&A is the largest in the world, making it possible through it to chart the development of the art from the middle of the twelfth century to about 1550. One hundred colour plates, and selected details, show major masterpieces to full advantage. Commentaries on each will reconstruct the original context of the panels, explain the imagery and give details of further reading, thus also providing an indispensable introduction to the subject. The text will touch on the techniques of stained glass, the major centres and monuments and the themes depicted in the pieces illustrated. Taken together, images and text illuminate a golden age of stained glass production, resulting in a beautiful book which will complement the major exhibition of Gothic art opening at the V&A in Autumn 2003.

Paul Williamson is Keeper of Sculpture, Metalwork, Ceramics and Glass at the V&A. He is the author of many books and articles, including European Sculpture at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A Publications 1996) and, most recently, Netherlandish Sculpture 1450-1550 (V&A Publications 2002). He is co-editor, with Richard Marks, of the catalogue accompanying the exhibition Gothic: Art for England 1400-1547 (forthcoming from V&A Publications in September 2003).
