Stained Glass of Canterbury Cathedral Summary

Stained Glass of Canterbury Cathedral by Michael Michael

The newly cleaned stained glass of Canterbury Cathedral is a revelation - the vibrant colour and breathtaking detail are newly visible to present day visitors. The finest of this glass is reproduced within a lavishly designed book to be enjoyed by visitors and general readers alike. Full-page reproductions, stunning details and commissioned line art feature in Scala's celebration of this world-class collection. Michael Michael has had the unenviable task of selecting the most beautiful and important pieces of glass. His text sets these within context of the biblical stories they depict. Communicating his passion for the glass and his understanding of its art-historical context, the text will appeal to non-specialists who are interested in the meanings behind single images and narrative sequences of glass. An additional chapter written by Sebastian Strobl outlines the fascinating history of changing methods of restoration and conservation, as well as the work carried out today by the cathedral's expert team.
