Glance at Glass: Churchill.


The German company Mayer & Co. was founded in Germany in 1847.
By 1865 a London branch was opened and it would be a fair
assumption that from then on more of the Mayer stained glass
was coming to Ireland.

Commonly known as 'Mayer of Munich stained glass', it is the
painting on the glass which makes it so distinctive.
Very soft shading on rich colours. But most importantly the
light is used in a nearly Rembrandtesque way, so to say.
Noticeable is also the very inventive ways in which
silver stain (yellow) is used.

Churchill church, County Kerry has some lovely examples of it.

The detail shown here is facing North and is throwing some
mighty colour onto the surrounding plastering when the July
evening sun is on it under an angle.
