Curatorial Area(s)
During the Renaissance, European craftsmen made small panels composed of thin, flat glass panes that were painted and stained. Especially popular were panels decorated with family crests and images copied from engravings. Most of these objects were built into leaded windows, or suspended from chains or cords in front of them. This panel depicts two coats of arms, one belonging to the Escher vom Glas family of Zurich. The panel was probably crafted in the workshop of Lukas Zeiner, one of the most talented glass painters working in Switzerland in the 16th century.
