Christ
Calling Peter and Paul
John LaFarge |
| |
The
Christian discipleship window is by John La Farge, a noted New York
glassmaker and painter. It represents Christ calling the apostles
at the Sea of Galilee. The lower portraits depict Saint Peter and
Saint Paul.
Note that in the American-manufactured windows in this church, the
faces and portraits are painted in oils onto the transparent glass.
The English-manufactured windows in this church use an entirely
different technique, where all aspects of the illustration are etched
directly onto the colored glass and stained prior to assembly. The
painted portraits have weathered over time, and are now protected
from weather elements with a outer layer of plexiglass.
