Best The Nativity Glass Panel Decorative Accents

This luminous hand-painted glass panel has been reproduced from a 15th-century stained-glass panel in The Met collection. Originally installed in the Carmelite church at Boppard, in the German Rhineland, this panel with its Nativity scene was once part of a window depicting the ancestry of Christ. The painter of these windows adopted an angular style of breaking drapery folds and subtle juxtapositions of brilliant color, initiating a new style of glass painting in the middle Rhine.
