Ruit met een heer die aan de armen brood uitdeelt 1500 - 1600

This anonymous stained glass panel, dating from the 16th century, depicts a scene of charity, where a wealthy man distributes bread to the poor. The scene is set in a city street, with the figures arranged in a circle around a central figure, likely a wealthy benefactor. The use of muted colors and the intricate detail in the clothing and architecture are characteristic of the period. This piece offers insight into the social realities of the time, illustrating the stark disparity between the wealthy and the poor in the 16th century. This artwork is an example of stained glass art, also known as glass painting, a technique that involves using colored glass and painting to create images on a window.
