This stained glass window is from the former, now demolished Dominican convent of St Gertrude, Cologne. It marks the final victory of French High Gothic in the lands along the Rhine. Thanks to its close ties with the modern architecture of Cologne and Strasbourg, stained glass adopted the High Gothic idiom sooner than other painting arts, thereby showing the way for future development in painting styles after the end of the 13th century.
