St. Patrick and the High King

#98

Franz Zettler was a master of spatial realism, and that translates well into this scene of St. Patrick preaching to the High King. This window is set within a fictional niche of a scene, with the Celtic masonry in the background’s architecture providing one clue that this scene occurs in the fields of Ireland. The artist sets a serious tone with eight figures gazing at the central figure, St. Patrick. In this scene St. Patrick is convincing the king of the one true God and one true religion. Although this window does not derive from a biblical narrative, the scene aligns with the Irish Catholic faith, an indicator of the parish this window would have been originally installed in.

Triumphal Entry of Jesus in Jerusalem

#99

This scene is based on the Bible passage of Matthew 21:1-11 where Jesus visits Jerusalem. He enters the city riding on a donkey as the city cries out in praise of him, the prophet who came from Nazareth of Galilee. Some people carry palm tree branches that they spread onto the road before Jesus. He would go into the city, healing sick people and declaring the city as his.

I Am the Light of the World

#111

This window represents one of the most popular themes for religious windows while also resembling the most famous pre-Raphaelite painting, “The Light of the World,” by English artist William Holman Hunt. The illustration comes from the biblical passage of Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, [then] I will enter his house.”

Flight into Egypt

#113

This scene depicts the Virgin Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus leaving to Egypt after an angel warns Joseph about King Herod’s intention to kill Jesus. The king of Judea would order the execution of all infant boys in Bethlehem, not knowing that the family had fled already. This is based of the story in the Matthew 2:13 in the Bible: "When the magi had departed, an angel from the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, 'Get up. Take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod will soon search for the child in order to kill him.' "

Title: Mary Magdalene Washing Jesus’ Feet

Date: ca. 1870

Medium: Painted Glass

Style: Munich Mayer

149 (1/4)” x 56 (3/4)”

Mary Magdalene Washing Jesus’ Feet

#115

This window illustrates the biblical scene of Luke 7:38, as written atop the window, in which Jesus is having dinner with a Pharisee who fails to offer hospitality. Mary Magdalene, dressed in scarlet robes symbolic of sorrow, is found kneeling washing Jesus’ feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. Franz Mayer excelled in the three-point perspective, giving the illusion of dining inside a temple with three-quarter profiles of the figures, as well as giving the illusion of a distant land past this scene.
