Painting with light.
A small collection of the works of great stained glass artists.
Included are some legends of the art, including Louis Comfort Tiffany (he of the lampshades, on prominent display at the Morse Museum) and his contemporary rival, John La Farge (who did some of these superb windows for Harvard). Noticeably absent is the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. For some good contemporary work, check out the creatively-named Narcissus Quagliata and his dome masterpiece (more of his stuff here), as well as the creations of I. Tashiro (some fantastic technical information on this site). Last, but certainly not least, a brief history of stained glass.

Cool post, middleclasstool! I'm kind of low-brow I guess because the phrase "painting with light" reminds me mostly of this

Oh, good, I thought it was going to be about that schlock artist with all the mall shops.

Heh. I thought about that when I made the post. No, these guys are actually talented.

Lovely. Thank you!
