GOTHIC GLASS PAINTER, Italian
(late 15th century)

The Creation

1490s
Stained glass window
Cathedral, Milan

This stained glass panel in the Cathedral Museum in Milan was executed for the apse of the Cathedral. The Cathedral Committee, on account of a competition announcement, selected three glaziers, Franceschino Zavattari, Maffiolo da Cremona, and Stefano da Pandino, and commissioned to execute the three apse windows; but without assigning a precise stained glass to each glazier. This panel of the Creation is assigned by critics to Maffiolo da Cremona, together with the two below.
