Art Glass the colored glass used
for making decorative windows and other objects through which light
passes. Strictly speaking, all colored glass is stained, or
colored by the addition of various metallic oxides while it is in a
molten state; nevertheless, the term stained glass has come to refer
primarily to the glass employed in making ornamental or pictorial
windows. The singular color harmonies of the stained-glass window
are due less to any special glass-coloring technique itself,
however, than to the exploitation of certain properties of
transmitted light and the light-adaptive behavior of human vision.
Rarely equaled and never surpassed, the great stained-glass windows
of the 12th and early 13th centuries actually predate significant
technical advances in the glassmaker's craft by more than half a
century. And much as these advances undoubtedly contributed to the
delicacy and refinement of the stained glass of the later Middle
Ages, not only were they unable to arrest the decline of the art,
they may rather have hastened it to the extent that they tempted the
stained-glass artist to vie with the fresco and easel painter in the
naturalistic rendition of his subjects.
Neither painting on stained glass nor its assembly with grooved
strips of leading is an indispensable feature of the art. Indeed,
the leaded window may well have been preceded by windows employing
wooden or other forms of assembly such as the cement tracery that
has long been traditional in Islamic architecture; and the single
most important technical innovation in 20th-century stained glass,
slab glass and concrete, is a variation on the earlier masonry
technique
Stained Glass: in general,
windows made of colored glass. To a large extent, the name is a
misnomer, for staining is only one of the methods of coloring
employed, and the best medieval glass made little use of it. Colored
glass as window decoration is of great antiquity in East Asia.
Muslim designers fitted small pieces of it into intricate window
traceries of stone, wood, or plaster, and this type of window mosaic
is still in use. Colored glass was used in windows of Christian
churches as early as the 5th cent., and pictorial glass as early as
the 10th cent. Medieval Stained Glass: With the development of
medieval architecture, stained glass assumed a unique structural and
symbolic importance. As the Romanesque massiveness of the wall was
eliminated, the use of glass was expanded. It was integrated with
the lofty vertical elements of Gothic architecture, thus providing
greater illumination. Symbolically, it was regarded as a
manifestation of divine light. In these transparent mosaics,
biblical history and church dogmas were portrayed with great
effectiveness. Resplendent in its material and spiritual richness,
stained glass became one of the most beautiful forms of medieval
artistic expression
