Paperback. Zustand: 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.
