Stained Glass in England
Submitted by walwyn
The story of stained glass in England is one of both loss and renewal. The medieval and Renaissance centuries had produced a luminous synthesis of theology, craft, and architecture, an art that translated divine light into visible doctrine. Yet, with the Reformation and subsequent waves of iconoclasm, much of this splendour was extinguished. For nearly three hundred years, the craft languished, its techniques fragmented and its spiritual vocabulary forgotten
