In the 1400s and 1500s, southern Germany, Austria, and Switzerland were centers of innovation in stained glass. From the 1480s on, roundels were popular and often incorporated into larger glass windows. This and four other large roundels were likely made for the family chapel in a castle or palace. Their small, carefully executed details, visible only up close, could not have been appreciated in a large parish church or a cathedral. source: artsmia.org
