Study of glasses with grisailles from historic stained glass windows of the cathedral of León (Spain)
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract This work concerns the study of grisailles of historic glass samples from stained glass windows of the Cathedral of Leon, which were removed during the restoration carried out in 19th century. Both the glass samples and their coloured grisailles showed very different chemical composition and macroscopic heterogeneity. As a general rule their deterioration degree is rather moderate, maybe due to the pieces removal that preserve them from the high atmospheric pollution occurred in the last century. The present research pointed out the physical characteristics, chemical compositions and deterioration degree of the samples selected from the most important Spanish ensemble of Medieval and Renaissance stained glass windows. Moreover, this work offers sufficient results to be compared with those formerly obtained for other stained glass windows from European cathedrals and churches.
