The Hosmer Collection is one of the most significant collections of
secular pre-modern stained glass in North America and the largest
in Canada. In contrast to the better-known stained glass works made
for churches, these exquisite sixteenth- and seventeenth-century
small panels were intended to grace the windows of private
residences and other non-religious spaces. The first book-length
treatment of pre-modern stained glass in Canada, this volume
provides new information on the diverse subject matter (ranging
from allegories to heraldic displays), provenance (the Low
Countries and Switzerland), style, and dating. Each work receives a
detailed treatment according to the criteria of the Corpus
Vitrearum, the international organization which set the scrupulous
standards for modern stained glass research, and is accompanied by
photographs. The volume's introduction situates the collection both
within the history of the medium and within the context of the
architectural history and artistic environment of Montreal. Also
structured as an on-site guide to the collection, The Stained Glass
of the Hosmer Collection, McGill University breaks new ground on
collecting practices, architectural design, and the installation of
pre-modern stained glass in new buildings.
