Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stained Glass in Catholic Philadelphia tells the remarkable story of the thousands of stained-glass windows - made in America, England, France, and Germany - in the more than 400 churches, chapels, and institutions of the five-county Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Since 1997 more than 450 sites have been visited to document the archdiocese's windows by photographing them. This process resulted in the creation of a photo archive of over 50,000 images. Using this archive as a foundation, a team of scholars - from a variety of institutions and with specialties in medieval studies, architectural and social history, Christian iconography, decorative and liturgical arts, the craft, creative reuse, and historic preservation of stained glass - was assembled to study these windows. The result is this profusely illustrated book of original research that makes accessible a significant and highly visible, but neglected, aspect of our ecclesial, national, and regional cultural heritage."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Preservation and Repair of Historic Stained and Leaded Glass Despite many failed starts, the War of 1812, and British competition, American glass production increased steadily throughout the 19th century. Stained glass was available on a very limited basis in America during the first quarter of the 19th century, but American stained glass did not really emerge in its own right until the The windows at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Brooklyn, New York, made by John and William Jay Bolton between 1843 and 1848, are perhaps the most significant early American stained glass installation (fig. Other important early stained glass commissions were the glass ceilings produced by the]. G. H. Gibson Company of Philadelphia for the House and Senate chambers of the United States Capitol in 1859. America's glass industry boomed during the second half of the 19th century. (and although stained and leaded glass is found nationwide, the manufacturing was based in the Northeast and Midwest, where good natural ingredients for glass, and coal reserves for the kilns were available. Moreover, nearly all of the nationally renowned studios were based in major metropolitan areas of the central and northeastern states - near the manufacturers that supplied their raw materials.) In response to this growth, the industry formed self-regulating associations that established guidelines for business and production. In 1879 the Window Glass Association of America was established, and in 1903 The National Ornamental Glass Manufacturers' Association, precursor of the Stained Glass Association in America, was formed. The 60 years from about 1870 to 1930 were the high point for stained glass in the us. In the early years, American stylistic demands reflected those current in Europe, including various historic revivals, and aesthetic and geometric patterns. American patterns prevailed thereafter; they tended to be more Vivid, brash, and bold (fig. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Stained Glass Windows written by Madeline Harrison Caviness and published by Brepols Publishers. This book was released on 1996 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides an up-to-date overview of the scholarship on a single source material, stained glass. Included are an extensive bibliography, and brief chapters on the nature and development of this medium, the technique of making a window in the middle ages, post-medieval reception and documentation, and the historical significance of windows. Most examples are chosen from English or French sites, though the reference material is comprehensive; for instance, the bibliography includes all the catalogues published by thirteen countries in the Corpus Vitrearum series. The author guides the reader to recent literature on medieval attitudes to glass as a window material, the encoding of exegetical and theological systems, the structuring of narrative, and the function of windows as luminous altar-pieces or as memorials. Researchers are invited to cull from windows information concerning technology, latinity, piety, heraldry and genealogy, dress, and attitudes to class and gender. In order to understand the present condition of windows, brief accounts are given of iconoclasm, early restoration practices, and patterns of collecting. There are nine black and white illustrations that serve to clarify technical details; one of them, illustrating the paint layers in a group of twelfth century heads, was drawn especially for this book. The author, Madeline H. Caviness, is Mary Richardson Professor and Professor of Art History at Tufts University, and served as President of the International Board of the Corpus Vitrearum from 1987 to 1995. Her last book, The Sumptuous Arts at the Royal Abbeys in Reims and Braine (1990), was awarded the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy of America for 1993.
