1. Stained Glass Art II

2. A Brief history… • Based on remains found at Pompeii , stained glass was first used by wealthy Romans in their villas and palaces in the first century A.D. • At this time stained glass was considered a domestic luxury rather than an artistic medium. • It began to be regarded as an art form when Constantine first permitted Christians to worship openly in 313 A.D. • The earliest surviving example of pictorial stained glass is a Head of Christ from the tenth century excavated from Lorsch Abbey in Germany.
