The rich tradition of ecclesiastical stained glass represents only a part of the glorious stained and decorative glass that surrounds us. Stained glass as pure ornament, as a source of light, or as an integral part of an architectural design can be seen and enjoyed in public buildings from office blocks and international airports, to bars and hotels, and increasingly in private, domestic settings.
STAINED AND DECORATIVE GLASS traces the history of glass in its architectural environment from the earliest surviving examples in the 11th-century cathedral in Augsburg to the work of modem designers and architects producing new and exciting effects of light, colour and form. The author explores the first flowering of stained glass in medieval times, and the technical virtuosity of the craftsmen who created the jewel-like, faceted colours of the great windows that still illuminate the dark interiors of European cathedrals and churches.
Following the destruction of the Reformation, stained glass reemerged with the 19th-century Gothic Revival in Europe and the United States. It found new form and expression under William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement, and Louis C. Tiffany and other Art Nouveau designers.
Finally the author evaluates the reinterpretation of stained glass in this century and its place as a vital element in sophisticated architectural decoration, and as an individual art form in its own right.
On a more practical level, the author takes the reader through a step-by step account of how glass is made and the various stages in producing a stained-glass window, from first designs to installation.
Lavishly illustrated, STAINED AND DECORATIVE GLASS will be a source of delight for anyone interested in this stunning and accessible art form.
