Two pieces with names and surnames. Both were made by one of the most important stained glass workshops of the 15th century in Central Europe, the one established by Peter Hemmel de Andlau in Strasbourg. Following models by the engraver Martin Schongauer (the main representative of engraving along with Albrecht Dürer), they were commissioned in 1481 and 1495 by the notable patrician families of the Beheim and the Tucher, who, curiously, were portrayed by Dürer himself in the same years.
