Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Painted Glass, Shewing Its Applicablity to Every Style of Architecture
Before, however, treating of these elementary principles in connexion with Painted Glass, it may not be out of place to advert to that blind veneration for the Antique, which does not distinguish between the faults and the beauties of Ancient Art, but extends its admiration equally to. Both.

A Treatise on Painted Glass (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of painted glass, exploring its role as a decorative art form within the context of architectural history. The author traces the evolution of painted glass from its early, somewhat crude imitations of classical forms to the more sophisticated and original designs of the Middle Ages, arguing that it reached its apex alongside the flourishing of pointed architecture. The author examines the essential principles of proportion and harmony that underpin successful design in painted glass, and how these principles can be applied to modern homes and buildings. He emphasizes the importance of natural forms and colors as sources of inspiration, and explores the rich symbolism embedded within the medium. Ultimately, this book reveals the enduring power of painted glass, not only as a decorative art, but as a means of expressing beauty, meaning, and cultural identity. 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 # 9780282805715_0
