Religious Art
Stained glass is consistently the most important architecturally integrated art element in churches and sanctuaries featuring the magical elements of light and color. The medium offers an endless number of applications as an architectural and iconographic design element in churches and places of worship. Art glass is a lasting and integral part of church buildings and is inspired and connected to a network of people, events and spiritual aspirations.
Well designed art glass windows are capable of a transformational role in a religious setting. Traditionally, text and imagery are employed to tell a story or feature an important figure or event. In larger installations, a well established iconography is extremely effective in translating the liturgy. Many liturgical glass applications require only stylized figurative elements.
