| Alabaster carving was one of the primary arts associated with England, site of the best-known quarries. A form of gypsum, alabaster is relatively soft when mined, facilitating its carving. It hardens slightly after exposure to the air and also accepts color and gilt well. Thus it was an ideal material for complex sculpture for interior decoration of shrines and altars. The Coronation of the Virgin dates about 1450 and retains some of its original color and gold highlights.Stained glass was extensively used in England, and extant windows date from the 12th century in Canterbury and Lincoln cathedrals. In the 13th-century-English artists worked in France at the Cathedral of Sens and the Abbey of St.-Yved in Braine. By the fifteenth century, county churches such as East Harling were installing extensive cycles such as Life of the Virgin window. | |
