Fragmenten karton voor het glasraam in de westgevel van Joris van Egmond (Bisschop van Utrecht 1535-1559) voor de Sint Bavo Kerk te Haarlem 1541

This 1541 drawing by Gerrit Boels is a design for a stained glass window depicting the coat of arms of Joris van Egmond, Bishop of Utrecht from 1535-1559. It was intended for the Sint Bavo Church in Haarlem. The drawing is a detailed rendering of the heraldic elements, including the shield, the crown, and the scroll. The design would have been a powerful symbol of the bishop's authority and lineage, and it would have been a stunning visual centerpiece in the church. The drawing is a beautiful example of Renaissance-era design, showcasing the artist's mastery of detail and proportion.
