An Essay On The Art Of Painting On Glass

Painted windows are allowed to be the richest and most magnificent application of art to the interior decoration of monumental buildings. The brilliancy and liveUness of the colours of which glass is susceptible on account of its trans- parency will always secure to this kind of painting a distin- guished rank among the arts. The dazzHng combination of colours^ which fills the observer with astonishment on account of their brilliancy, as well as on account of their variety, gives a peculiar character to painted windows which prevents them from falling into oblivion, even should they be neglected for a time.
