A church wishing to glaze its windows with elaborately painted glass would have to seek sponsorship. In large cathedrals, wealthy ecclesiastics or members of royal families would often supply the necessary funds. Smaller institutions would have to seek financial assistance from well-off members of their communities. The people who contributed these funds are known as 'donors'. If they are depicted in the window they financed, as in this example, the windows are known as 'donor windows'. \r\n\r\nDonors may or may not have had a say in the subject matter of the windows they contributed to. Often, the subjects, or themes, would have been determined by the needs of the church, but donors could request that they be depicted somewhere in the scheme, accompanied by their patron saint, as we see in this panel.\r\n\r\nThe donor in this panel is Geldulph de Nausnydere, who was alderman of Louvain (Leuven) in 1517 and 1524. It was placed at the base of a window, possibly in the south chapel of the Charterhouse of Louvain, which was a monastery of the Carthusian Order. The Charterhouse was founded at the end of the 15th century [DG13]by the dukes of Burgundy. It was financed with donations from ducal family members, as well as from clerics of the surrounding areas and local residents.","physicalDescription":"Panel, stained glass, Geldulph de Nausnydere in prayer with his patron St. Geldulph standing behind him, whose shield displays the arms of Burgundy Ancient quartered with cleves.
