Stained glass tracery light depicting the Prophet Jeremiah. From the abbey at Mariawald, Germany, 1500-49.

Stained glass tracery light in red, blue, grisaille and yellow stain, depicting the Prophet Jeremiah, half length with an inscribed scroll.

Given by E.E. Cook Esquire.

In the cloister of Mariawald until about 1802.
From about 1811 until 1928 it was installed in the Chapel at Ashridge Park, Hertfordshire.
(12 July 1928) Sold at Sotheby's.
The glazing of the Mariawald cloister, confined to ten windows on the west and north sides and one at the north end of the east walk, and made up entirely of two-light windows, seems to have started at the beginning of the second decade of the 16th century and probably continued until the early 1530s. From the surviving panels and the existing windows it can be seen that the programme was made up of paired Old and New Testament scenes arranged typologically one above the other (New Testament at the second level, Old Testament in the third), as in the Biblia Pauperum, with donor panels placed on the lowest level. A prophet with a scroll occupied the cusped head of each light.

From the cloister of the abbey at Mariawald.
