The Gouda Windows (1552-1572). Art and Catholic Renewal on the Eve of the Dutch Revolt
Xander van Eck
'The Gouda Windows (1552–1572): Art and Catholic Renewal on the Eve of the Dutch Revolt' offers the first complete analysis of the cycle of monumental Renaissance stained-glass windows donated to the Sint Janskerk in Gouda, after a fire gutted it in 1552. Central among the donors were King Philip II of Spain and Joris van Egmond, Bishop of Utrecht, who worked together to reform the Church. The inventor of the iconographic program, a close associate to the bishop as well as the king, strove to renew Catholic art by taking the words of Jesus as a starting point. Defining Catholic religion based on widely accepted biblical truths, the ensemble shows that the Mother Church can accommodate all true Christians.
