St Matthew, c.1830
Attributed to Thomas Wright of Leeds (active from 1775).
From South chancel, St Matthew, Holbeck, Yorkshire.
This window continues into the 19th century the 18thcentury technique of painting in enamel pigments on large rectangles of white glass. However, the green robe is made of pot metal glass, which is glass coloured throughout its thickness, and in placing the figure of the Evangelist St Matthew under an architectural canopy in the Gothic style, the window shows the impact of the early Gothic Revival.
