Gothic Stained Glass Motifs – Middle Ages Decorative Window Designs, c.1869
This striking chromolithograph, Plate XLIV from L'Ornement Polychrome, presents a dazzling collection of Gothic stained glass window designs drawn from the medieval period. Richly colored and framed in deep black outlines, the intricate compositions echo the grandeur and precision of church windows found in cathedrals across France and Germany during the 12th to 15th centuries.
The design features:
– A large central arch flanked by geometric panels and floriated borders
– Repeating Gothic floral and vine motifs, fleur-de-lis, quatrefoils, and medallions
– Vivid use of red, blue, green, and gold, contrasted with deep black lead lines, mimicking the look of actual stained glass
– Smaller inserts depicting foliage, heraldic medallions, and lattice patterns, arranged to simulate clerestory or rose window segmentation
– Panels structured with Gothic tracery and ornamental pilasters
Lithographed by Dufour et Lebédian and printed by Firmin-Didot in Paris, the plate reflects the meticulous attention to color and ornamental symmetry typical of Gothic ecclesiastical architecture. It captures the essence of the medieval craftsman’s devotion to spiritual beauty, where stained glass was not merely decorative but served to inspire awe through divine light and storytelling.
Ideal for collectors of medieval art or as a visual reference for restorers, designers, and students of architectural history, this plate embodies the resplendence and complexity of high Gothic ornament.
Condition: Excellent. Minor toning to outer margins. Colors remain vivid and strong, with no foxing or tears.
Framing tips: A dark wood or black frame with a linen or soft gold mat will echo the window frame feel, highlighting the intense colorwork and giving a dramatic focal point to any interior.
