background<\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5b524d;\">The oldest glass artefacts date back to approximately <strong>4000 B.C.<\/strong>, and were found in a geographical area that extended from the <strong>Mesopotamian basin to Egypt.<\/strong> But it was the <strong>Romans<\/strong>, in around <strong>100 B.C.<\/strong> who perfected the technique of glassblowing and used the first panes of glass in windows. In the <strong>Middle Ages<\/strong> the use of stained glass was widespread in ecclesiastical architecture, as light and its diffusion became a metaphor for divinity and the radiance of its virtues on the earthly world.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5b524d;\">As <strong>Romanesque<\/strong> style turned to <strong>Gothic<\/strong> in the <strong>first half of the 13th century<\/strong>, the use and development of <strong>stained glass<\/strong> flourished. This is especially evident in <strong>France<\/strong>, where a particular blend of <strong>techniques used in painting and miniatures<\/strong> emerged.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #5b524d;\"> In the 14th century, numerous stained glass windows were also produced in <strong>central Italy<\/strong>. The oldest are those adorning the <strong>Upper Basilica in Assisi<\/strong>, which were created by <strong>German masters<\/strong>. From the <strong>16th century<\/strong> onwards, stained-glass windows exploring profane themes also began to appear in the form of decorative features for private residences. These included coats of arms, hunting scenes, landscapes and the first examples of non-religious figures. The most famous and sought-after <strong>glass masters<\/strong> at the time were <strong>Flemish<\/strong>, working along the lines of Bosch and Van Orley.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5b524d;\">By the <strong>18th century<\/strong> the art all but died out everywhere except in England, and would only be rediscovered in the next century. Stained glass was now being studied seriously, and workshops were reopening. New creations were being produced and the older originals became sought after by collectors. In England, the <strong>Pre-Raphaelites, William Morris<\/strong> and <strong>Edward Burne-Jones<\/strong> brought medieval and modern styles together, paving the way for the triumph of stained glass as a secular and bourgeois decorative medium that prevailed in the <strong>Art Nouveau years<\/strong>. The delicate interweaving of floral and geometric subjects that typify this style gave rise to the production of highly technical and complex decorative designs.  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #5b524d;\"><strong>Perhaps the most famous and innovative contribution to the revival of glass as an artistic material came from the American designer Louis Comfort Tiffany, who opened his workshop in New York in 1882. It was here that he created objects inspired by the plant and floral world their strange opalescent and metallic effects. He is credited with developing a new technique for assembling glass that bears his name. Modern versions of his famous lamps and stained-glass windows are still being produced and imitated today, and their popularity in antiques markets testifies to the eternal appeal of his creativity. In the 20th century, other famous artists such as Leger, Braque, Matisse and Chagall took an interest in this artistic technique, producing highly original and appreciated interpretations. Today glass art is still considered to be the oldest and most fascinating form of ornamental art.<br \/>\n   <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ltol3lp0-7ffc43e450af2b6c811e09e87e9845ac\">\n.avia-section.av-ltol3lp0-7ffc43e450af2b6c811e09e87e9845ac{\nbackground-repeat:no-repeat;\nbackground-image:url(https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/lampshade-480678-1.jpeg);\nbackground-position:0% 0%;\nbackground-attachment:scroll;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-ltol3lp0-7ffc43e450af2b6c811e09e87e9845ac main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-full-stretch avia-bg-style-scroll av-minimum-height av-minimum-height-custom av-height-custom  container_wrap sidebar_right'  data-section-bg-repeat='stretch' data-av_minimum_height_px='600'><div class='container av-section-cont-open' style='height:600px'><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-542'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_4'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-542'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/542"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/542\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/542\/revisions\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vetrateartistichevitrage.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
