God
as a Good Vintner
John LaFarge |
| |
Next
to the Eagle memorial is another John La Farge window, this one
commemorating the death of a young child. The angels are depicted
as young children in a sentimental Victoria style. Its grapevine
motif evokes the image of a good vinter who prunes his vines for
the health of his vineyards. The inscription reads: Those that
are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts
of our God.
Note that in the American-manufactured windows in this church, the
faces and portraits are painted in oils onto the transparent glass.
The English-manufactured windows in this church use an entirely
different technique, where all aspects of the illustration are etched
directly onto the colored glass and stained prior to assembly. The
painted portraits have weathered over time, and are now protected
from weather elements with a outer layer of plexiglass. |
