Jane Gray (b.1931) Cambridge University Arms Watercolour 23 x 21 cm Detailed in artist's hand Provenance: the artist's studio sale The University of Cambridge is one of the world’s oldest universities, with groups of scholars first congregating at the ancient Roman trading post of Cambridge for the purpose of study in 1209, the first college (Peterhouse) being founded in 1284. The university was granted its arms some years later in 1573 by Robert Cooke, Clarenceux King of Arms and a graduate of St. John's College. The granted arms are described in heraldic terminology, or blazon, as follows: Gules on a Cross Ermine between four Lions passant guardant Or a Bible fesswise Gules clasped and garnished Or the clasps in base. Jane Gray A.R.C.A. (b.1931) is a British stained glass artist. She studied stained glass at the Kingston School of Arts (1949-51) and later at the Royal College of Art (1951-55) under Lawrence Lee. Lee was so impressed with Gray’s work that he asked her to work alongside him on the design of ten nave windows for Coventry Cathedral. This six-year-long design project culminated in their final installation in 1962 after the cathedral’s consecration. Gray was the first woman to become a liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Glaziers and has designed more than a hundred windows in private and public buildings, chapels and over forty churches across the country, including St Peter’s, Martindale, Shrewsbury Abbey, St Oswald, Oswestry and St Mary, Chirk. Gray’s designs mark a crucial turning point in the history of stained glass art as the Victorian style gave way to a modern, aesthetic. In her work, Gray navigates this shift with a style that, whilst distinctly modern, retains a deep rooted sense of the medieval. Despite many of her commissions being for church windows, stained glass design was not simply about religious depiction for Gray, but more about ‘colour, shapes, luminosity, [and] playing with rainbows’.
