From the press release —
German stained glass of the time made use of the same imagery as its paintings, and showed similar visual innovations - increasingly the designers of stained glass windows were also the painters of panel pictures.
This exhibition brings together some of the finest examples of German stained glass from this period…and puts them next to a selection of National Gallery paintings from the same period and regions of Germany. Also featured are some surviving examples of designs for stained glass.
