The magical qualities of stained glass have an enduring appeal, but
church windows tend to be ignored as a form of creative and
artistic expression. How to Look at Stained Glass is a fresh,
unstuffy guide, which explores the medium by themes, patterns,
designs, and effects. Using an A-Z format to reveal a multitude of
fascinating details - all the way from apples to zig-zags - it
makes looking at gloriously colourful, artistically important
windows entertaining and rewarding. This layman's guide requires no
previous historical, artistic or religious knowledge and the A-Z
miscellany is in keeping with the pot-luck mix of windows to be
found in most churches. It covers all the major periods and styles
from medieval to modern, Victorian to post-war, eighteenth century
to Arts and Crafts, figurative to abstract, and examines the
fascinating and evolving iconography of stained glass. Illustrated
in black & white and colour and with a list of the top 30
places to see outstanding examples, How to Look at Stained Glass is
all that is needed to make sense of and enjoy the array of stained
glass windows in the churches of England.
