Mendel-Window

Mendel-Window Location

Mendel-Window

1385

Location


Founded by the three brothers Marquart (d. 1385), Konrad (d. 1414), and Peter Mendel (d. 1423), together with their cousin and partner in the firm, Paulus Mendel (d. 1389). The Mendel company, which flourished from 1305 to 1449, had branches in Venice, Prague, Bruges, Antwerp, and Cologne, and traded in spices, drugs, Nuremberg metalware, high-quality cloth, cotton, Murano glassware, wine, salmon, and salted herring. The proverbial philanthropy of the family members is well documented. Marquart founded the Carthusian monastery in 1378, Konrad the House of the Twelve Brothers in 1388, and Peter a house for the Beguine sisters. The window is dedicated to the story of Saint Anne and Mary. (...) The two canopy panels with bearded attendant figures (prophets?) are certainly not in their original position; their pointing gestures have become meaningless without a corresponding counterpart below. The window is dedicated to the story of Saint Anne and Mary.
