Legend to the illustrations in the print:
-
In the Gothic period already, the practice of filling
in the window-openings (apertures) entirely with .colored glasses, declined
more and more. In the place of these came, (especially in the beginning
of the Renaissance style,) small glass paintings on colorless ground, which
were however encircled with borders and framing, often so elaborately ornamented
that these seem to form the chief decoration, the subjects of which are
generally plants and animals, but often also of human figures. Neither
are all kinds of symbolic subjects and figures wanting, as a glance at
the annexed plate shows; but these certainly belong to a later time of
the Renaissance period.
