Springfield tour through the stained glass windows
Gorgeous stained glass installations in churches, historic sites and other public spaces are common in springfield, USA. In the 1800s, the Arts and Craft Movement inspired a new interest in Gothic styles in Europe and ushered in the production of stained glass on America’s East Coast. Midwestern mainline churches that could afford contracts with these studios brought that early Gothic style to central Illinois. By around 1890, studios in smaller communities had started creating their own new styles. One can see and have a wide variety of art glass in and around Springfield. Blessed Sacrament Parish, 1725 S. Walnut is a remarkable example of the European influence on stained glass design in the early 1900s. Unlike many Gothic-style windows produced in America, these windows were comprised of many small pieces of glass, rather than larger pieces painted to appear as small pieces. These windows are surely an inspiration for the new architects and interior designers.
