This stained glass window by Charles Eamer Kempe, at St Peter's Market Bosworth Leicestershire, is an example of late Victorian Gothic Revival art, depicting Saints George, Peter, and Margaret in three tall, richly colored panels. Each saint stands beneath an elaborate architectural canopy, rendered in delicate tracery and glowing jewel tones that catch and filter the light with remarkable depth.
The story of stained glass in England is one of both loss and renewal. The medieval and Renaissance centuries had produced a luminous synthesis of theology, craft, and architecture, an art that translated divine light into visible doctrine. Yet, with the Reformation and subsequent waves of iconoclasm, much of this splendour was extinguished. For nearly three hundred years, the craft languished, its techniques fragmented and its spiritual vocabulary forgotten
Between 1929 and 1932 the Parisian atelier Mauméjean Frères created a vivid sequence of stained-glass windows for the church of Notre-Dame, Déols. The cycle traces key moments in the lives of the Virgin Mary and Christ, from the Nativity and Annunciation through the Visitation and the miracle at Cana, and finally to the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the heavenly Coronation of the Virgin.
