Index of all Stained Glass

St John the Evangelist - Bourges choirWindow 204 consists of two tall lancets forming part of the celebrated early thirteenth-century clerestory glazing of Bourges Cathedral. The saints represented, Andrew on the left and John the Evangelist on the right, are shown as full-height standing figures beneath architectural canopies, framed by the characteristic geometric borders of the Bourges workshop.

Window w.212, located high in the south choir clerestory of Bourges Cathedral, dates from c.1210–1215 and belongs to the earliest glazing phase of the High Gothic choir. The window presents two Evangelists, Mark and Luke, and one Apostle, Matthias. 

This trio forms part of a wider apostolic–evangelist cycle distributed around the clerestory, each figure shown as a monumental standing saint set within a richly patterned Gothic frame.
