Opis
Comprehensive treatment of the role of stained glass as a means of communication and source of divine inspiration in England, covering nine centuries of history
Covers all of the cathedrals of England and as such acts as a gazetteer as well as a history of the art form in the country: a compact and practical travel companion
Richly illustrated in full colour, with special attention to the accurate representation of light through coloured glass
The finest examples of stained glass from each of England's cathedrals, in most cases selected by the Dean of the cathedral
Janet Gough is author of the successful titles Cathedrals of the Churches of England, Churches of the Church of England and Deans' Choice: Cathedral Treasures of England and Wales
"...packed with superb colour photographs... This book is a wonderful companion to cathedral-crawling, not least in helping the crawlers work out what is, and what isn't, worth seeing." - Simon Heffer, Telegraph
"A vivid guide to 50 stained-glass windows, helping visitors better appreciate the works they encounter. It's the kind of book you'll find in cathedral gift shops - and one that would make a thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to church buildings but yet to encounter the Saviour they honour. It is a gentle and beautiful way to awaken interest in the divine." - Premier Christianity
The stained-glass windows of England's cathedrals illuminate interior spaces, communicate religious and other messages, and - perhaps - offer us a glimpse of heaven. This book tells the remarkable story of these much-loved works of art.
Divine Light features glass from every Church of England cathedral. It spans nearly 900 years, beginning with the windows installed at Canterbury Cathedral following the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170 and representing every subsequent century in the history of English stained glass. Divine Light encompasses the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the hugely productive 'long 19th century', the Pre-Raphaelites, the Arts and Crafts movement, the creative commissions of the 20th century, and the innovative glass being commissioned by cathedrals today.
The book establishes the connections between the artistic beauty of stained glass, its effectiveness as a narrative medium, and the various technical developments that have shaped the work of practitioners over the centuries. The refraction of light through coloured glass emerges as an early form of mass communications that retains its power to move and inspire today.
