Attribution

Saints George, Peter, and Margaret by KempeThis 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.

Seven days of Creation

Attribution

 

This window in the St Anne Chapel, Malvern Priory, has twelve scenes depicting the Creation story and the Fall. It is dated to between 1440-1450 and was probably the gift of Isabel Despenser and Richard de Beauchamp, 13th earl of Warwick.

 

The four panels in the top register of the window illustrate the seven days of creation.
