Panel of the month : "the art of buildings" : the St William window, York Minster

This month's panel comes from the St William window, York Minster. While the design, authorship, and patronage of this 15th-century masterpiece often receives the most attention, the images of identifiable buildings of the city of York depicted throughout the window also illustrate its importance as a truly magnificent display of civic pride and unity. Our panel, 9b, which shows Micklegate Bar--a highly significant York building--is key to an understanding of the window's meaning. [Publication Abstract]
