The Deepest Blue... |

Gothic Cathedrals, such as Chartres, employed large amounts of stained glass to symbolize the divine light that God brings to the faithful. The basic technique for making stained glass has changed little since it was first developed in ancient Egypt. Use of stained glass reached its climax during the Gothic period. The richness of some of the colors, particularly blue, that was achieved during the Gothic period has yet to be surpassed. | ||
