Website on Stained Glass 1840-1950

The subject is the history of monumental stained glass in the United States, especially its patronage; the civic and religious institutions that saw leaded and painted windows as essential to their purpose. It is hoped that this overview will be useful to individuals interested in American history, religion, ethnic communities, architecture, social change, and preservation, as well as art. Images by the author or Michel M. Raguin may be downloaded for not-for-profit purposes. The author welcomes additional information and images to be appropriately credited and uploaded.

Artwork development

In stained glass we often see he same stale images repeated again and again. I stumbled upon this "behind the scenes" story of the making of several images to promote the National Geographic film "Killing Jesus". The process is fascinating and fresh.
