Life of the Virgin Mary; Stained-glass panel; Lady Chapel of the
Abbey Church of Saint Germain de Prés
, Paris (destroyed in 1805); Artist/Maker: Unknown; Clear, coloured and flashed glass with painted details; Given by Henry Vaughan, Esq.; Museum no. 1223:1 to 6-1864; composite panel made up of six quadrants not originally joined together. Bottom right: figure of the seated St. Anne. To the left a haloed, bearded man is held by the hand by a mitred high priest. The former probably represents Joseph, and thus the scene would have formed the left half of the Marriage of the Virgin. In the second register, on the left, a haloed young female figure is shown supported by an angel, perhaps illustrating the Virgin as an adolescent, visited by angels during her time in the Temple. On the right is a crowd of onlookers, led by a cowled figure. In the top register, on the left, a female figure moves forward with arms extended, possibly to be identified as Anne meeting Joachim at the Golden Gate. On the right are two men holding books, probably the elders of the Temple consulted about the refusal of the Virgin to take a husband; clear, coloured and flashed glass with painted details; Height: 207 cm whole object, including frame, Width: 91.8 cm whole object, including frame, Weight: 46.5 kg whole object, including frame;
