The artists, asked at short notice by the Arts Council for a panel for an exhibition, lent this one and made a substitute for the Cathedral. The panel may subsequently have been shown at All Hallows, London Wall before being sold by Reyntiens to Lord Beaumont of Witley who in turn gave it to the Museum (76/475). RP now absorbed into MA/1/B866 Beaumont Lord of Witley.","historicalContext":"(March 24 1971) Letter from Patrick Reyntiens to Tim [Lord Beaumont]: ...The circumstances of this panel are...that in the early part of 62 Feb or so we were asked to contribute something to an Arts Council exhibition - it could have been in November 61 and this glass was due to go in to the cathedral (top half: there was quite a gap between the top going in and the bottom half) so we pushed the panel into the Arts Council show and proceded to make a replica whis is now in the cathedral...at 25 feet or so one could tell the difference! Probably the painting isn't quite so good in the cathedral. I think subsequently the panel was shown at the All Hallows, London Wall....I'm glad it's going to be in a light-box though you may find with artificial light it would be the best thing to reverse the paint-side and put it back-to-front with the glassy side to the viewer - otherwise its apt to look drab and lacklustre when the light is not on.","briefDescription":"Panel of stained and painted glass made for the Baptistery window of Coventry Cathedral.
