Catalogue Note
Les rondels étaient réalisés en une seule pièce de verre et ornaient les fenêtres en forme de croisée au XVème siècle. La décoration en grisaille et jaune d'argent s'inspirait souvent de modèles connus, notamment de gravures. Ce rondel représente les Saintes Barbe et Catherine munies de leurs attributs et dérive probablement de planches gravées par Martin Schongauer (1448-1491) dont on trouve notamment un exemplaire à l'Art Institute de Chicago. Il est également à rapprocher d'un rondel flamand conservé au Metropolitan Museum of Arts de New-York (1984.338). La rondeur des visages et le caractère très anguleux des plis indiquent une origine allemande, comparable à celle du rondel de Sainte Agnès conservé dans ce même musée (1983.237) et attribué à un artiste souabe vers 1490.
