Synopsis
Excerpt from Stained Glass
Stained glass, as the term is used, is taken to include also painting upon glass. As a matter of fact, glass staining and glass painting are two quite different things. To build up a mosaic with pieces of coloured glass, each separate tint cut out of a separate sheet of potmetal, is one thing; to paint upon a sheet of white or coloured glass is another thing altogether. 'in fact, they are not merely two different ways but two opposite ways of arriving at a result. But there is this excuse for grouping them (as it is the custom to do) under one title, that from very early days the two processes of work were used together.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the historic sequence of stained glass, from its development and its technique's perfection, to its decline. Beginning with Gothic architecture and ending with the Renaissance revival, the author discusses the substyles such as Early Gothic and Perpendicular, giving historical context and examples. The author explores the origins of stained glass to the East with plaster windows of Egypt, then claiming that via European settlers in the West glass replaced plaster. The book analyses the themes, patterns, and techniques of the craft, including both the glass's mosaic origins and the use of painting on glass. The author argues that these later pictorial techniques were often a craft in themselves, only distantly related to the earlier monumental work, that is, glass mosaic in windows. This book is an excellent resource for those who are interested in the history of stained glass, and the author's insights will help readers appreciate the beauty and significance of this art form. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282777210_0
