Angels Swinging Censers, ca. 1170, Made in Troyes, French, Pot-metal glass, vitreous paint, and lead, 18 1/2 x 17 5/16 in. (47 x 44 cm), Glass-Stained, The stained glass produced for the Collegiate Church of Saint-Étienne in Troyes during the late twelfth century represents a major transition from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. None of the panels from what was once an ambitious cycle of scenes—ranging in theme from the public life and Passion of Christ and the Dormition of the Virgin to the life of Saint Nicholas of Myra—remains in its original setting, since the church was destroyed in the wake of the French Revolution
