Picture Perfect Windows

During the late 19th century, stained-glass windows became an important architectural element of artistic interiors. Designers revived Classical and Gothic designs but also introduced reforms. Louis Comfort Tiffany and his American rivals revolutionized the centuries-old art form using patented formulas for opalescent glass, which was fabulously varied in color and texture.
