The winning bidder, after paying for the 3 windows, will be responsible for going to the building with a crew and detaching the windows from the hinges, and carrying them out of the building.They don't need to fit in an elevator, they can be carried down the large staircases, and right out to the street.The three themes of the windows are Resurrection, Baptism of Christ and Nativity./////////////////////////////////////////A deeply religous man who came into the gallery said that he was pretty sure that the 3 windows originally hung in St.John's Chapel(torn down in New York City in 1918), but he wasn't 100% sure and that could not be independently confirmed.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.First window measurments: The stained glass window: 57" x 96".

Zettler's company achieved its first success with award-winning windows displayed at the 1873 International Exhibition at Vienna. By the early 1880's, Zettler's glass studio employed 150 artisans. In 1882 the company was appointed as the Royal Bavarian Art Institute for Stained Glass” by King Ludwig.Zettler studios eventually perfected what became known as the Munich style” which was a method where religious scenes were painted on larger sheets of glass and then fused to the glass through firing in intense heat.This process allowed for a blending of colors not attainable by the old "Medieval Style," in which any change of color in a scene required a separate piece of colored glass that had to be cut to size and fitted in its own leaded framework. Munich style art glass windows contained leaded seams that did not interrupt upon the intricate and heavily detailed scenes portrayed. Instead, they were incorporated into the design that made them substantially less noticeable. The "Munich style" allowed for extremely detailed depictions of their subjects. The scenes depicted were heavily influenced by a combination of 19th century European romantic style of painting, along with German baroque style.Zettler is widely recognized as the master of perspective,more like the landscaped paintings where background objects are portrayed at different scales than those in the foreground, thus giving the scene a very realistic sense of depth. The Munich style and three-point perspective were later adapted and modified by the great american designer, Louis Comfort Tiffany. While the latter’s name may be more known to people today, in their own era it was apparent who was the master and who was the student: at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago, a Zettler window won top prize over a Louis Comfort Tiffany window.""

Good condition overall. To contact Andy Jean-Gilles for an appointment to see the 3 windows, call 212 777-2120 during normal business hours, or email him at ajeangilles@tbn.org
