Angel of Light Art Glass

By artist Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933)

As a stunning detail of Tiffany's famed stained glass window in St. Anne's Church in Lowell, Massachusetts, originally titled the Resurrection Angel, the "Angel of Light" captures the essence of a solitary angel gazing lovingly in an expression of beauty, inspiration and love. This gleaming art glass detail with magnificent wings comprised of varying shades of blues and purples, uses light and color to create a reverent vision of inspiration. Tiffany made it his creative life-long goal a "pursuit of beauty" and he labored to improve the stained glass process. Art glass, also called stained glass, is created by a unique technique of fusing hand-rolled architectural glass with unique transparent enamels, then kiln fired at temperatures above 1100 degrees Fahrenheit so the colors actually become part of the glass. The shades and hues will stay bright and glowing with radiant color and provide a stunning view from either side. The art glass window is framed in zinc with a hanging chain for window display and a tabletop easel stand to enjoy this treasured piece in any room.
