Stained Glass Panel with the Virgin and Child

Stained Glass Panel with the Virgin and Child

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Virgin and Child, represented as an apocalyptic vision, was one part of the glazing of the Augustinian Canon's Church of Corpus Christi. The sparing use of color and the employment of white glass for flesh tones are typical of that city's stained glass in the first half of the fifteenth century.

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.
