Stained Glass Design with Lighting

This is actually an adaptation of a stained glass art. A similar design has been carried out here by the glass painting process but not on glass. 

Thick fibre sheet has been used as the canvas to this glass painting. A square boxed texture has been etched on the fibre sheet by means of laser rays.

Oldest Stained Glass at Augsburg Cathedral, Germany

Some of the earliest known examples of coloured window glass, datable to 800–820, were recovered in excavations at the Abbey of San Vicenzo in Volturno, Italy. 
  
Glass of the same colour ranges and similar date is also found in England, at the monastic sites of Jarrow and Monkwearmouth, and at other sites in the north of England.

Stained Glass Patterns

Stained glass, as an art form, reached its height in the Middle Ages when it became a major pictorial form and was used to illustrate the narratives of the Bible to a largely illiterate populace.

A stained glass is actually formed by combining pieces of colored glass to form a shape or design by various engineering techniques undergoing the process of glass manufacturing.

Here stained glass patterns have been reflected on glass at home by the reverse glass painting technique.
