The History of Stained Glass Windows

    Early History

    • Biblical Stained Glass Window

      Stained glass window use began with church building. In the 10th century, French and German churches featured biblical windows and English churches featured decorative windows.

    Documentation

    • Around 1100 AD, a monk named Theophilus wrote a "how to" that described stained glass window construction and techniques.

    The Gothic Age

    • The Gothic age ushered in fantastic stained glass window techniques that graced the great cathedrals of Europe with works of art.

    The Renaissance

    • Blue Metallic Salt for Glass Staining

      During the Renaissance, stained glass suffered a 300 year period in which the form became less artistic and more garish with the use of thick, heavy paint.

    The 1800s

    • In the mid-1800s, interest in Gothic architecture resurrected in England when art historians rediscovered stained glass techniques of medieval times.

    Contemporary Age

    • Modern Stained Glass Window

      After the Second World War the flowering abstract and expressionist movements led to stained glass church windows that are reminiscent of the artistically beautiful Gothic period.
