For over a thousand years stories of Christian belief and great
moments in British history have filled the windows of our
cathedrals and parish churches. The glow of painted and stained
glass, its radiant colours and vivid pictures, has inspired
generations of audiences and artists.
This beautifully illustrated book traces the development of a
unique art from its earliest beginnings in Anglo-Saxon England to
the present day. It includes fascinating descriptions of medieval
and renaissance glass, the religious upheavals of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries which saw thousands of windows destroyed, the
rebirth of the craft in Georgian and Victorian Britain, and the
pioneering of exciting new styles and techniques by modern
artists.
Explanations of how stained glass windows are made, the secrets of
medieval glaziers, the subjects that can be seen and where the best
examples from the seventh to twenty-first centuries can be found
add to its pleasures.
