I was unable to detect a signature on any of the apse windows on this page.
Except for the Sacred Heart window, the overall design of the lancet windows seems consistent.Except for the Sacred Heart window, all the other the faces and clothing design seem to have the same artist. Comparing the faces to those in the east and west naves, it seems clear that the artist is the same. Each of the nave windows is signed "The Flanagan & Biedenweg Co."
Conclusion: All the nave and apse windows - except for the v are by "The Flanagan & Biedenweg Co."See also: similarities in style with Reginald Marsh
Flanagan & Biedenweg
1885: Joseph E. Flanagan and William C. Biedenweg, a German trained craftsman, establish Flanagan & Biedenweg Co.
By 1900 the firm is the largest of the Chicago producers of stained glass windows for residential and ecclesiastic use.
The firm is active until 1953.- Rolf Achilles, A Chicago Timeline (online Oct. 2012)
Flanagan & Biedenweg
Although Flanagan & Biedenweg was Chicago's largest stained class company, only a handful of its art glass windows can be positively identified today: two large occhio windows at St. Vincent de Paul Church (1895-97) and a panel from the Magi Window, presently located in De Paul University's Library (restored in 1992). Joseph Flanagan donated the window...
Both windows are composed of antique glass masterfully painted in the Italian Renaissance style. The east occhio, rich in reds and blues, is especially radiant in the morning light...
The panel of the Magi Window, a magnificent work, won the Grand Prize for American glass at the St. Louis World's Fair of 1904. The expressions of adoration on the faces of the three kings are matched by the wondrous gifts which they bear and by their robes which are encrusted with precious jewels. The window, flawlessly balanced in color and composition, is made entirely of opalescent glass.- Drehobl Art Glass Co.: Flanagan & Biedenweg (online Oct. 2012)
