Window Panel with Architectural Detail
(Renaissance Europe )
This stained glass panel featuring details inspired by 15th-century architecture was made for the central window of the choir in the Waasen Church in Leoben, Austria. The narrative panels in the window, now dispersed, represented scenes from the infancy of Christ. The style of the windows suggests they were made by a local workshop around 1415-25.
