Description

Four Leaded Stained Glass Window Panels, Replicas attributed to The Geyling Studio, Vienna, Late 19th C. Depicting (left to right): Stoning of St. Stephen, after original at Darmstadt Hessiches Landesmuseum; the Adoration of the Magi and the Madonna and Child, after originals from Ebreichsdorf; and Christ washing the feet of his apostles, after originals at Burg Kreuzenstein [Virginia Raguin Consult] These panels are replicas of a larger ensemble commissioned for the private chapel in the castle of Ebreichsdorf, south of Vienna. Originally, there were eighteen scenes, some extending across two lights of the windows. Except for one panel in Vienna, The Cloisters panels are all that survive. The royal atelier responsible for the glass was established in Vienna, where its early work can be seen in the Church of Mariam Gestade, of about 1365, and in the ducal chapel at the Cathedral of Saint Stephen, of about 1395. The elegant figures, richly damascened background, as well as the wealth of detail and the brilliant palette that enrich the settings, are all characteristic of this court workshop.
