Description
A conference from the Bible and Antiquity in Nineteenth-Century Culture Project Group.
Convenor:
Summary:
The nineteenth century witnessed a revolution in the design and production of stained glass. Yet despite its ubiquity, stained glass has received surprisingly little attention from historians of art, religion, literature and culture. This conference aims to open up fresh perspectives on stained glass as an architectural, artistic, decorative, commemorative and devotional medium. While it is often discussed in backward-looking terms, this conference also explores what made stained glass modern, ranging from photographic portraiture to the chemistry of colour and its place in artistic and technical education.
Sponsors
The conference is supported by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge, and by funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ ERC grant agreement no 295463. The conference is graciously hosted by St. John's College, University of Cambridge.
