The French Gothic-inspired church has forty-four large stained glass windows containing two hundred and twenty scenes. Today, more than 100,000 visitors tour the basilica each year to admire its architecture or participate in the beautiful liturgies. Honoring both the Sacred Heart and the Virgin Mary, the vibrant windows have, for more than a century, drawn visitors and worshippers alike into a conversation with the art and faith found in the windows. This informative and conveniently sized guidebook tells the unique story of the windows: the improbable creation of a glassworks by cloistered Carmelite nuns in LeMans, France, and their stained glass that so perfectly illuminated the late nineteenth-century French Catholic spirituality of the Congregation of Holy Cross, who established the University of Notre Dame. The words of Father Edward Sorin, CSC, founder of the university, are featured throughout the text. He saw the basilica and its windows as an avenue for teaching this spirituality. The book describes the windows according to their location in the building, from the narthex at the entrance to the Lady Chapel behind the altar. Full-color photographs provide a detailed view of the scenes found in each window. These photos are accompanied by informed commentary on the historical and theological importance of the windows, the iconography of featured saints, and how they illuminate the work of the Holy Cross to educate both mind and spirit. Stories in Light is an easy-to-read book written for all who visit the basilica, including faculty, students, alumni, and friends and family of Notre Dame, and for readers everywhere who want to know more about the rich history and heritage of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart's stained glass.

Download or read book Significant Influences on the Creation of the Rose Windows of Chartres Cathedral written by Kaiya Treffry and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study investigates three significant influences on the creation of the rose windows of the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres. The first area of influence lies in the cultural environment of the eleventh century, the second in the construction of the cathedral at Chartres, and the third in the medium of rose windows. The development of Gothic architecture is found within the cultural environment of the eleventh century. It began with the Abbey of St.-Denis as rebuilt by the Abbot Suger (1081-1151). Suger aspired to glorify both the Abbey of St.-Denis and the Crown of France. He positioned himself centrally in the cultural environment so as to forge a reality of those aspirations. St. Bernard of Clairvaux, leader of the ascetic Cistercian Order and the creator of the Cistercian style of art, influenced Suger's point of view regarding philosophical, theological and aesthetic matters. Suger favored the Neoplatonic philosophy of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, the "anagogical approach" in particular. That philosophy became the aesthetic basis for the reconstruction of the Abbey. The artistic and technical innovations Suger envisioned became an actuality with the rebuilding at Chartres. The cathedral at Chartres contributed a history, a circumstance and physical features that were solely its own. In 1194 the cathedral burned. When rebuilt the edifice presented more height and width than any other cathedral of that time. The new expanse of space was made rich with Gothic Style stained glass, including three rose windows. Stylistically and iconographically the rose windows at Chartres drew from within the history of all rose windows. Technically the windows reflected the techniques of the stained glass craft. It is the conclusion of this thesis that significant influences on the creation of the rose windows of the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres are to be found in Gothic architecture as represented by the Abbey of St.-Denis and as influenced by the Abbot Suger; in the unique history, circumstances and physical features of the Cathedral of Notre Dame at Chartres; and in the techniques of the craft of making stained glass, in the history of rose windows and in the iconography of the times"--Document.

Download or read book Development History Of Ancient Chinese Glass Technology written by and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-04 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide research on ancient glass began in the early 20th century. A consensus has been reached in the community of Archaeology that the first manmade or synthetic glasses, based on archaeological findings, originated in the Middle East during the 5000-3000's BC. By contrast, the manufacturing technology of pottery and ceramics were well developed in ancient China. The earliest pottery and ceramics dates back to the Shang Dynasty - the Zhou Dynasty (1700 BC-770 BC), while the earliest ancient glass artifacts unearthed in China dates back to the Western Han Dynasty. Utilizing the state-of-the art analytical and spectroscopic methods, the recent findings demonstrate that China had already developed its own glassmaking technology at latest since 200 BC. There are two schools of viewpoint on the origin of ancient Chinese glass. The more common one believes that ancient Chinese glass originated from the import of glassmaking technology from the West as a result of Sino-West trade exchanges in the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 AD). The other scientifically demonstrates that homemade ancient Chinese glass with unique domestic formula containing both PbO and BaO were made as early as in the Pre-Qin Period or even the Warring States Period (770 BC-221 BC), known as Yousha or Faience.This English version of the previously published Chinese book entitled Development History of Ancient Chinese Glass Technology is for universities and research institutes where various research and educational activities of ancient glass and history are conducted. With 18 chapters, the scope of this book covers very detailed information on scientifically based findings of ancient Chinese glass development and imports and influence of foreign glass products as well as influence of the foreign glass manufacturing processes through the trade exchanges along the Silk Road(s).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “aged queen of French cathedrals,” Victor Hugo called Notre-Dame. And ancient it was – nearly 700 years had passed since the Bishop Maurice de Sully decided that Paris needed a cathedral worthy of France’s capital. “Every face, every stone of the venerable monument,” Hugo continued, “is a page not only of the history of the country but also of the history of science and art.” Here, National Book Award Winner Richard Winston tells the dramatic story of the building of the great cathedral and the history that was made there – from the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots to the crowning of Napoleon to Charles de Gaulle’s celebration of the liberation of Paris from the Nazis.
