Published to coincide with the V&A's exhibition Gothic: Art for England 1400-1547, this long-overdue volume showcases the Museum's outstanding stained and painted glass - a peerless collection ranging in date from c. 1140 to 1540 and with important examples from England, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands and Italy. Over one hundred colour plates and selected details show the full range of this magnificent collection, from large panels from key churches and cathedrals such as La Sainte-Chapelle, St Germain des Prés, Cologne, Bruges, Canterbury and Winchester, to small but no less beautiful fragments. Commentaries on each of the pieces will reconstruct their original context and explain the imagery, thus also providing an indispensable introduction to the subject.
