The area of the Bavarian administrative districts of Lower and Upper Franconia, stretching from Aschaffenburg in the west to Bayreuth in the east, with the art centers of Würzburg and Bamberg, still has many, often almost unknown glass paintings from the 14th-16th centuries. In addition to the main works, the large stained glass collections in St. Veit in Iphofen and Maria Sondheim in Arnstein, the small collections at around 30 locations together create a picture of a region influenced artistically in part by the Middle Rhine and in part by Nuremberg and Prague. Early collections of glass paintings created in Bamberg and Coburg reflect this image.
