Fritz Zeigler was probably a rad dude


Thanx maynard's









Almost three metres tall, it includes three panels that depict biblical scenes of God the father, Jesus, the creation of Adam and Eve, and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
It bears the date 1533 and was made by stained-glass master Valentin Bousch for the Church of the Priory of Flavigny-sur-Moselle in France.



The other two portions of this window are in the Metropolitan Museum in New York and a church (in Stockbridge, Mass.).



The most important by far of any pre-Modernist stained glass in Canada.
