Description

Stained glass was invented around AD 1000 and quickly became a dominant force in medieval art. Its innovation can be compared to that of television - both involve passing light through a transparent layer, with the stained glass image being in constant motion as the light changes. Unlike traditional forms of art, which rely on static images, stained glass uses sunlight to create its effects. This means that each time you look at a stained glass piece, it will appear different due to the changing light. The technique has been used not only in churches but also in secular contexts, adding a unique and dynamic element to various forms of art. This book explores the history and development of stained glass from 1200-1550, providing insight into its innovative use of light and colour.
