Talk:Medieval stained glass

Redirect

Is there any reason this page should not redirect to Stained Glass? I see none, but that redirect has been removed once already so I figured I should bring it up here before redirecting again. Khalfani Khaldun 21:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, I will re-add a redirect. Your edit arrived in the middle of one of mine! Hazel Lockwood (talk) 05:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I am thinking that this could either be merged to the article Stained glass, or this article be made into a subarticle of stained glass. CardinalDan (talk) 05:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy for it to be a sub-article of stained glass. Hazel Lockwood (talk) 08:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly oppose redirect. No. The generic article on stained glass is already uncomfortably long and doesn't load well on slow computers. Separate articles like this are necessary for all the various major periods/countries of stained glass production. The generic article has only room for a very few pics of medieval glass. This article can be fully furnished with examples of famous medieval glass. I am delighted to see the creation of this article.

Gallery

Here are some useful pics which have already been found and sorted. I'll track down some more for inclusion, as you chose.

Daniel from Augsburg Cathedral, early 12th c. One of the oldest examples in situ.
Detail of a 13th century window from Chartres Cathedral
Detail of a window of St George by Hans Acker (1440) in Ulm Minster, Germany
A figure from Strasbourg Cathedral
The North Transept windows from Chartres Cathedral
The Poor Man's Bible window at Canterbury Cathedral, 13th c.
The west window of York Minster
The rose window from Sainte-Chapelle, 15th c.
The Synagogue (left) and Judith (right), Troyes Cathedral
Troyes again. Great window, good pic!
Detail, Jesus on the Mount of Olives and Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, Laon Cathedral. This pic has been taken with flash and might be useful to show details of lead and solder.
The commissioning of St Stephen. New restoration, also from the choir at Laon 1215.
This is a lousy picture. I adjusted the tone and colour from a worse version, but its still not good. Given the fame of this particular window, we could really use a better version of it.
Well, at least this is an exceptionally good picture. Chartres Cathedral
...and a very clear detail from the Zodiac window at Chartres
Part of the Jesse Tree at Chartres
Miraculous draft of fishes from Canterbury
Thomas Becket at Canterbury
Good pic for revealing technique
The Last Judgement from St Mary's, Fairford
Detail of the Archangel Michael weighing the souls Fairford
The east window of Great Malvern Priory, assembled from fragments
Detail with a wonderfully expressive face of a sick old woman
St Neots, Cornwall
Detail, St Luke from St Neots, Cornwall
detail of Passion of Christ from Hereford Cathedral, needs cropping
Part of a Jesse Tree, c.1170 (possibly 1150) York Minster
