The Location of the “Sainte-Chapelle” Stained Glass in the Cathedral of Soissons

Pages 459-460 | Published online: 10 Nov 2014
 

Abstract

At least as early as the sixteenth century it was realized that certain panels of stained glass in the Cathedral of Soissons were related to windows in the Sainte-Chapelle of St. Louis IX erected in Paris in the late 1240′. On April 28, 1568, during testimony concerning the sack of the city and the Cathedral of Soissons the previous autumn by Huguenots, an eyewitness to the event reported the following: “Ils ont aussi rompu en desbris toutes les verrières de l'église [cathédrale] des quelles il n'est reste que celles qu'ils n'ont plû atteindre, et le peu qui en est demuré est tout percé de coups de pierres et de harquebuzes, estoient toutesfois les dites verrières de grande valeur et de fasson et semblables à celles de la Sainte-Chapelle de Paris.”1
