A visit to any museum shows us some of the wonders of our world, and a recent visit to the Art Institute of Chicago was no exception!
This incredible stained glass window was designed by artist Agnes F. Northrop for Tiffany Studios more than 100 years ago for the Central Baptist Church of Providence Rhode Island. The congregation decided in 2018 to relocate the window to the Art Institute of Chicago where it could be conserved to ensure that it would remain stable and be on public view.
Moving and reinstalling the window was a monumental task and required complicated planning.. In the museum the window is back lit by a custom LED system to give the effect of changing sunlight.
Tiffany Studios is well known for 'painting with glass' using color and texture to create stunning effects to create this landscape of light.
