C14th English stained glass fragments - Pattishall Northamptonshire

C14 stained glass fragments

This fragmentary but evocative window from Holy Cross Church, Pattishall, preserves elements of a 14th-century English stained glass narrative cycle. The surviving lights depict a kneeling orant figure with hands raised in prayer, and beside it, a group showing Christ with a disciple or saint, set beneath delicately painted Gothic architectural canopies.

Life of St Martin of Tours (Bay 4)

This tall lancet window (c. 1300) os one of two windows that presents a compact cycle of the Life of St Martin, arranged in five horizontal registers, each split into two quatrefoil medallions. The sequence highlights Martin’s charity, his spiritual trials, his episcopal authority, and his miraculous power as missionary and bishop. The glass is characteristic of the early 14th century at Tours, with intense blues and reds, crisp linear painting, and lively narrative detail.

The Life of St Bartholomew – St-Ouen, Rouen

The surviving panels from Baies 12 and 14 of Saint-Ouen in Rouen preserve fragments of a once extensive fourteenth-century cycle devoted to St Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles and the legendary evangeliser of the East. Although the scenes are today divided between two windows and have undergone significant later restoration, they retain the expressive line, saturated colour, and elegant architectural framing characteristic of the Rouen workshops between 1325 and 1339.

Massacre of the Innocents - St Ouen, Rouen

These two stained-glass panels from the choir clerestory of St Ouen form a paired narrative of the Massacre of the Innocents, rendered in the incisive and highly expressive manner characteristic of the early 14th-century Norman workshops. Though each panel stands within its own Gothic architectural frame, complete with gabled canopies, foliate bosses, and alternating bands of strong primary colour, the scenes are conceived as a continuous episode of violent disruption, unfolding across two moments of the same biblical tragedy.
