A Set of New Stained-glass Windows in St Vitus's Cathedral, Prague

A Study of Patronage and Iconography at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century

Christine Vendredi-Auzanneau

Maison Franco-Japonaise Tokyo


  Abstract

The new windows installed in St Vitus's Cathedral in Prague in the first half of the twentieth century provide us with an example of the national sentiment that flourished in the Czech countries at that time. This article explores the role of the patrons responsible for funding the windows, the fund-raising operations and the part played by the designers and glass-making firms. It argues that the diverse character of the windows results from the choice of particular workshops engaged to manufacture them.

Key Words: stained-glass windows • Czechoslovakia • St Vitus's Cathedral • patronage • nationalism
