Here the Archangel Raphael, in disguise, collects the money that belonged to Tobias’s father while Tobias is delayed at his wedding feast.\r\n \r\nIt illustrates one of the new techniques for decorating glass that were introduced in the mid 16th century. Glassmakers used paints known as 'enamels' to paint directly onto the glass, similar to painting onto a canvas. The colours were produced by adding metallic oxides to a ground glass (frit) mixture. The resulting wide colour range included the delicate pinks, yellows, greens, reds and purples shown here.\r\n\r\nChristoph Murer (1558-1614) was a distinguished Swiss glass painter. He produced numerous designs for stained glass windows, including a series based on Tobias and the Angel that includes this panel.","physicalDescription":"Panel depicting Raphael going to Gabael on behalf of Tobias and bringing away the money.
