From the Cathedral of Soissons, France.[1] William Andrews Clark [1839-1925], New York;[2] bequest 1926 to the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington; acquired 2014 by the National Gallery of Art. [1] See: L. Grodecki, "Un vitrail démembré de la cathédrale de Soissons," _Gazette des Beaux-Arts_ 43 (1953): 169-176; L. Grodecki, "Les vitraux soissonais du Louvre, du Musée Marmottan et des collections américaines," _Revue des Arts_ 10 (1960): 163-178; Philippe Verdier, "A Stained Glass from the Cathedral of Soissons," _The Corcoran Gallery of Art Bulletin_ 10, no. 1 (November 1958): 3-22, repros. According to Madeline Cavisness, Elizabeth Pastan, and Marilyn Beaven, "The Gothic Window from Soissons: A Reconsideration," _Fenway Court_ (1983): 7-25, esp. 9-10, 23 nn. 11-13, the narrative windows in the cathedral's chapels were dismounted in 1882, with some being stored on-site and others taken to the studio of Edouard Didron. The Didron firm worked on Soissons restorations from 1855 to 1889, and was succeeded by the firm of Félix Gaudin from about 1890 to 1905. Gaudin's bid for the work lists NGA 2014.136.362 among the six he restored. [2] The stained glass hung in the billiard room of Clark's mansion. Notes in the NGA curatorial files indicate that Clark acquired the window around the turn of the 20th century from an unidentified French dealer. Marilyn M. Beaven, "A Medieval Procession: Sacred Rites Commemorated in a Stained Glass Panel from Soissons Cathedral," _Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts_ 67, no. 1 (1992): 35, writes that by 1903 stained glass from the cathedral began to be offered on the art market by at least two Paris dealers, Raoul Heilbronner and Bacri Frères, and that sales of the Soissons glass continued until around 1927.
