EXAMPLES or MEDIEVAL ART,
Fine Stained Glass Windows Recently
Received at New York.

The two German windows OF stained
glass among the recent acquisitions
belong In period to the early sixteenth
century, at the time when medieVai
ism passes over into renaissance. Inc
color Is lighter and paler than that OF
the preceding century and Is secondary
In Importance to the design. In the
examples at the museum are certain
tints of yellow that began to be used
in the middle of the fifteenth century,
as taste changed in favor OF lighter
rooms. The subjects OF the WINDOWS
are st. John and St. Maximine against
a background of tapestry ana archi
lecture treated so as to appear on
the same plane as the figures. Inc
author of the note on the WINDOWS III

drawing Is undoubtedly the work OF
painter-and very good one-of the
