Stained Glass Panel with St. Barbara

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

This figure and a companion piece in the Burrell Collection, Glasgow, have distinctive stylistic features, such as the voluminous but graceful drapery and the large, heavily shaded eyes, that are the hallmarks of a late Gothic style produced by a workshop in Norfolk.

Medieval Art and The Cloisters

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Museum's collection of medieval and Byzantine art is among the most comprehensive in the world. Displayed in both The Met Fifth Avenue and in the Museum's branch in northern Manhattan, The Met Cloisters, the collection encompasses the art of the Mediterranean and Europe from the fall of Rome in the fourth century to the beginning of the Renaissance in the early sixteenth century. It also includes pre-medieval European works of art created during the Bronze Age and early Iron Age.
