Valentin
Bousch, The Prophet Isaiah, Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) ■ This window comes from a
series of seven windows made for the choir of the Benedictine priory church of
Saint-Firmin in Flavigny-sur-Moselle in the Lorraine region of France. The
windows had been commissioned by the prior, Wary de Lucy (1510-1557) from
Valentin Bousch, a glass painter in Metz who had already worked on a number of
important projects including Metz cathedral. Bousch was one of the most significant
master glaziers in north-eastern France in the sixteenth century and has long
been recognized as an important participant in the stylistic and technical
developments of the Northern Renaissance ■
