23rd Psalm
Tiffany Glass Company |
| |
The Twenty-third
Psalm window illustrates the text of this beautiful song. In the
upper portion, angels bear torches and lilies. this window was also
executed by Frederick Wilson of the Tiffany Glass Company. The long,
flowing lines in the design of these two windows reflect the influence
of the Art Nouveau style, of which Tiffany was very much a proponent.
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. |
