Join us for "Newport and Stained Glass: La Farge, Tiffany and More," a presentation by Richard Guy Wilson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Architectural History at University of Virginia and longtime Director of the Newport Summer School!A major American design creation in the later 19th century was the stained glass window. The work of John La Farge and Louis Comfort Tiffany pioneered opalescent stained glass but there were other types that appeared in houses, churches and public buildings. This talk will examine some of these windows in Newport and elsewhere, many of which are visited during the Victorian Society Summer School.
The event will take place in Draesel Hall adjoining the Church of the Holy Trinity, located at 316 East 88th Street, NYC, and include remarks about the Victorian Society Summer Schools in Newport, Chicago, and London, which first started back in 1974, and include brief presentations by recent program graduates. There will be a reception following the presentations.
The event is co-sponsored by the Alumni Association of the Victorian Society Summer Schools, The Victorian Society in America, The Victorian Society New York, the Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts, and The New York Landmarks Conservancy.
