Stained glass, although common in France and Germany, rare in Italy. However, the right transept of the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo possesses one of the most important set of Renaissance stained glass windows. Made and installed in the course of half a century (between about 1470 and 1520), the windows exalt the wisdom and faith of the Dominican order. A number of illustrious artists provided the cartoons to which the windows were made. Cima da Conegliano is credited with the figure of St John.
