Victory over Death
Tiffany Glass Company |
| |
The
next window depicts Martha, Mary, and Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus.
Above them are angels heralding victory over death and a flock of
doves in flight, symbolizing departed souls seeking God. The window
was designed by Frederick Wilson, the leading designer (after Tiffany
himself) at the Tiffany Glass Company.
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. |
