Comprehensive overview of stained glass,
By Angel Lee "Liocorno Amethyst Moonstone" (Cleveland, OH United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Stained Glass: Jewels of Light (Hardcover)
This is a beautiful and comprehensive book on the art of stained glass from its origin through today. Both the religious masterpieces of the world and modern art glass are covered in detail.The roots of stained glass are traced to the discovery of glass itself and the early ways of coloring it and methods of forming it, with stained glass as we know it appearing around the eleventh century. The development of stained glass into a brilliant and dramatic art form is illustrated with magnificent examples from Saint Chapelle, Chartres, Canterbury and Cologne among others. Much of the book, however, deals with the technical innovation and artistic variety of 20th century art glass. Many stunning examples by Tiffany, Wright, Chagall and others are presented.
