This Italian
Stained-Glass Windows Database, in course of realization at the present
time, offers the researchers a practical and easy tool for exploring the whole corpus of the Italian stained-glass windows
dating from the VI to the XVI century, including not only the ones still in
situ but also the scattered panels in private collections and museums
in Italy and abroad. The
work project foresees the census of about 500 stained-glass windows. The
files, compiled by experts most of which are members of the Corpus
Vitrearum Medii Aevi, illustrate each stained-glass window from a
historical, artistic, iconographic and technical point of view. Precious
information on the restoration works and on the window's present conditions
are offered in particular to Scientific Research experts and Monuments
and Fine Arts specialists. The information is costantly updated by the Corpus Vitrearum Medii Aevi . As
for the stained-glass windows composed by many panels, (a four-mullioned
window, with a threelights and a rose, is usually made up of about 70
panels) the files also include a graphic of the whole window and the images of the various panels.The lecture key is based on three
indexes: Subject, Location (with the name of the region, town, cathedral,
monasteries, museum) and a Typological index of the windows (rose, mullioned
window, lancet window, qamarrieh, etc.). For any information: bivi@icvbc.cnr.it cvma.bivi@virgilio.it |
