Description

Stained-glass panel
Dated 1629

The Deposition (Christ taken from the cross) had been a popular pre-Reformation image. It appears here in intense colour, the result of new techniques introduced by the German brothers Abraham and Bernard van Linge. Stained glass was popular before the Civil War among the Anglican supporters of Archbishop Laud (1573-1645) who attempted to revive traditional religious practices. The text underneath, however, emphasised that the image told a Biblical story and was not itself intended to be worshipped.

Coloured and clear glass painted with coloured enamels.

Painted, probably in Herefordshire, by Abraham van Linge (originally from Emden, Germany, active in England 1625-1641) from a composition by Rogier van der Weyden (born in Tournai, Belgium, about 1399, died in Brussels, 1464).
