Victory over Death
Tiffany Glass Company |
| |
The
next window depicts Martha, Mary, and Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus.
Above them are angels heralding victory over death and a flock of
doves in flight, symbolizing departed souls seeking God. The window
was designed by Frederick Wilson, the leading designer (after Tiffany
himself) at the Tiffany Glass Company.
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.
