| Summary: | The Christian Knight window of the Saint Janskerk at Gouda represents a political commission generated for the largest and earliest surviving post-iconoclasm Reformed stained glass campaign in the Netherlands. The religious and political turmoil of the Dutch revolt shaped the varied loyalties of the donors, church wardens, and burgermasters involved in the campaign. Issues of iconography and patronage, however, often depended on economic and social concerns at a local level. The new liturgical center of the church nave and its windows expressed the congregation's public and personal obligations in living the Christian life. |
