Stained glass can
be called one of the most brilliant glassworks. No wonder it has been highly
valued since ancient times. Mostly, it has been used in the decoration of
temples. And this is not surprising, because when the sunlight passes through
the stained glass, the room becomes filled with colorful rays, and the picture,
painted on glass, shines bright colors itself. It really creates a feeling of
touch to the beautiful and the high.
At present, the
production of stained glass is not limited to religious images. They can be
installed as an ornament of any building. The subject matter of the images is
also unlimited. The main principle - it should be beautiful.
In the Middle Ages,
the technology of stained glass production was very complicated, so it was
often made in poor quality, which affected their longevity. Nowadays the
situation has changed a lot. There are many ways to create a beautiful and
durable image on the glass. You can choose from the complete list of modern
techniques for creating stained glass windows, including etching, sandblasting,
mosaic, painting, contouring and many
others. It is also possible to combine several techniques.
The stained glass
is a kind of picture. Therefore, given the wide variety of styles of painting,
one can confidently speak of the diversity of styles of stained glass art. For
example, you can choose a classic style or modern on the contrary. Oriental,
Gothic, Art Deco, abstraction, romantic styles, or images of the favorite
cartoon characters to the joy of the child. Why not? The main thing is that
this work of art brings aesthetic pleasure.
A window is the
most classic thing to be decorated with stained glass. But the stained glass
can also perfectly decorate glass doors and the elements of lighting. It is
desirable to adhere only to one condition: it is necessary that a fairly bright
light passes through the stained glass, so it can fully reveal the beauty of
its colors and patterns. However, in the absence of this condition, it will
look colorful anyway and will make your interior brighter.
