STAINED GLASS

The Catalogue Raisonne of Brangwyn's stained glass is due to be released in 2009. This will be in the form of a DVD with films of the windows and interviews with experts. My blog gives a light hearted and blow by blow account of progress on the project.
The following is a list of Brangwyn's main stained glass commissions (the number in brackets following the title of each Brangwyn work indicates the number by which the work is identified in the Catalogue Raisonne).

1898              
Commissioned by Siegfried Bing to produce designs for six glass panels, three of which are known to have been produced by the Tiffany Glass Company.  The Baptism of Christ (G2601) , measuring 5006x1321 cm, was one of the largest panels ever produced by Tiffany and had to be made in two sections (now at Baltimore Museum of Art, USA).  It was exhibited at the Grafton Gallery, London, in 1899.  A second work exhibited was titled Music/Girls with Herm (G573) (whereabouts unknown).  Child with Gourd (G2599) was installed in the living room at Lauretton Hall, which represented a gallery of Tiffany’s favourite windows (now at Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, USA). The other designs were Flute Player (G2597) , Girl with Bowl (G2598) and Youth and Age (G2600).
