23rd Psalm
Tiffany Glass Company |
| |
The Twenty-third
Psalm window illustrates the text of this beautiful song. In the upper
portion, angels bear torches and lilies. this window was also executed
by Frederick Wilson of the Tiffany Glass Company. The long, flowing
lines in the design of these two windows reflect the influence of
the Art Nouveau style, of which Tiffany was very much a proponent.
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.
