Collection: Angels Swinging Censurs, 1170 COLLECTION

This Masterpiece is from a Stained Glass Window that was created in the year 1170.  It is titled "Angels Swinging Censurs", and it is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.  

Created for the Collegiate Church of Saint-Etienne in Troyes, France during the late 12th century, it represents a shift from the Romanesque to the Gothic style.  This scene is a section from a design depicting the Dormition of the Virgin. None of the other numerous panels are in their original setting.  When the Church was destroyed during the French Revolution, they were either destroyed, or are now scattered in public and private collections across Europe and America.

This image is colorful, joyous, and happy as one imagines the angels swinging the incense censurs before an altar during a Holy Mass, or even imagines the angels swinging the censurs in front of God Himself.  

"My "Angels Swinging Censurs, 1170 Collection" is bright, cheerful, and colorful, and it is my hope that, after so many centuries of being hidden and unappreciated, this joyous masterpiece is given new life again."
