The American Committee of the Corpus Vitrearum is pleased to continue the foundational work established by its Checklist series, published in the 1980s and 1990s, with this new website page dedicated to stained-glass panels dating to before 1700 that have recently come to our attention or that have been lately acquired by American museums. The works highlighted here have not been included in either the Checklists or in our Corpus Vitrearum volumes. For this page, we have closely followed the format of the Checklist series, with some augmentations intended to reflect current technology and to aid the researcher.
We sincerely thank the authors and institutions that have contributed to and supported this effort. New panels will be added as we become aware of them. If you know of a panel or panels not included here, in the Checklists, or in one of the published CV US volumes, please contact us.
