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.
Inv. No. 1981/5 Presented by Ripon Diocesan Board of Finance.
