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 Conservation written by JL. Sloan and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conservation of historic stained glass windows in America requires highly specialized expertise. The stained glass condition analysis must cover all of the materials of a stained glass window, that is, glass, came, decorative treatments, supports, frames, and protective materials. The condition analysis seeks to discover the causes of deterioration and to suggest remedies that will preserve the artistic and structural integrity of the window without requiring replacement for at least another century. Specifications for the restoration of stained glass must take into account all aspects of the restoration, from removal to reinstallation. This includes stipulating the requirements of basic good craftsmanship as well as the materials and procedures of specialized restoration techniques, such as paint consolidation or rejoining broken glass. The writing of good specifications demands intimate knowledge of each window in question, as well as the specifics of the craft and restoration of stained glass.

Download or read book Stained Glass written by Virginia Chieffo Raguin and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2013 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stained glass is a monumental art, a corporate enterprise dependent on a patron with whom artists blend their voices. Combining the fields now labeled decorative arts, architecture, and painting, the window transforms our experience of space. Windows of colored glass were essential features of medieval and Renaissance buildings. They provided not only light to illuminate the interior but also specific and permanent imagery that proclaimed the importance of place. Commissioned by monks, nuns, bishops, and kings, as well as by merchants, prosperous farmers, and a host of anonymous patrons, these windows vividly reflect the social, religious, civic, and aesthetic values of their eras. Beautifully illustrated with reproductions from the remarkable stained glass collection at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Stained Glass addresses the making of a stained glass window, its iconography and architectural context, the patrons and collectors, and the challenges of restoration and display. The selected works include examples from Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. Subject matter ranges from monumental religious scenes for Gothic churches to lively heraldic panels made for houses and other secular settings. Integrating comparisons to works of art in other media, such as manuscripts, drawings, and panel paintings, this book encourages the general reader to see stained glass as an element of a broad artistic production.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book weaves a web with strands that connect a favorite saint, an American revolution in stained glass design, a west-coast cultural renaissance, and a now obscure Swedish scientist and theologian. With beautiful photographs and prose, it brings to life the art and science of art conservation as dedicated people of various talents and interests struggle to preserve a cherished part of America's cultural heritage. --------------- Just as Porter cut glass and shaped lead when he first created his legendary stained glass, Douglas Stinson and Ariana Makau have fashioned and formed an artistic story of its restoration more than a century later. Revealing the modern techniques of restitution craftsmanship against the backdrop of significant San Francisco history, this book is its own work of art." James Lawrence, Assistant Professor of Spirituality, Graduate Theological Union and Dean of the Swedenborgian House of Studies.

Book excerpt: This publication is aimed at building owners and managers caring for stained glass windows, but it will also be of interest to their professional advisors, and to conservation officers, diocesan advisors and other statutory authorities. It is intended to help readers recognise the symptoms that indicate a decorative window might be suffering from environmental deterioration, and to understand and alleviate the impacts this may be having on the stained glass. The document is not a complete guide to the deterioration of stained glass (the complexity of which demands the expertise of an experienced accredited stained glass conservator), but instead outlines in general terms the process of making decisions about the conservation of stained glass in danger of environmental deterioration. It explains how internal and external environmental conditions can damage decorative windows, and gives pointers for determining whether a window requires specialist attention.
