Download or read book Stained Glass Windows An Essay written by William Frederic Faber and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essay describes the research that Faber did in order to inform his church members as to what kind of windows might be commissioned and placed in Grace Church, Lockport, where he was the resident Catholic priest.The essay is scholarly in tone and Faber goes into a great deal of detail. He was clearly delighted to be tasked with this important role as he says 'It is an unspeakable privilege to be permitted to place a memorial like this in the house of God, bringing ever new comfort and joy to hearts bereaved, and satisfaction to the donors; yes, if there is need to say it, it is an honor to be permitted to do it.' Frederick William Faber (1814 –1863) was a noted English hymn writer and theologian, who converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1845. He was ordained to the Catholic priesthood subsequently in 1847. His best-known work is Faith of Our Fathers. Nicholas Carter lives near Bristol and has been a journalist in the West Country for seventeen years. He is a member of The Sealed Knot.

Download or read book Imi Knoebel written by Imi Knoebel and published by Kerber Verlag. This book was released on 2011 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imi Knoebel, one of the most important contemporary abstract painters, has concentrated for over 15 years on the primary colours of blue, yellow and red; these have a similar architectural function to that of foundation stones. Based on the artist's proposal – an abstract composition of these colours – in 2008 Knoebel received a commission to design six church windows for the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Reims.These have been inaugurated in June 2011 in this high Gothic cathedral where the French kings were crowned. This opulent volume provides both a richly colourful documentation and an in-depth description of the entire project, which, following the tradition of Marc Chagall and Brigitte Simon who both designed church windows, creates a fascinating symbiosis between the old and the new.
