## Commentary

In 1586-88, the vestry of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont commissioned several times Nicolas Pinaigrier, who ran one of the largest stained glass workshops in Paris, for the execution of stained glass windows. Pinaigrier complied by delivering windows depicting four Saints, the Resurrection, the Incredulity of St Thomas, and the Holy Women at the Tomb. Pinaigrier did not stain glass but painted on it, a technique that offered a large range of graphic and chromatic effects.
