Stourhead House...

[PKM-UK]

Lovely images P&K. The arched, stained glass window is stunning.

Hi Tim,

Cheers - appreciated!

Yes, it's a truly glorious sight - actually a painting on glass - and is perfectly complimented by the painting at the opposite end of the library (shown below).

From the National Trust web site -

The lunette window is a main feature of the Library. The vibrant image was created by painting two panes of very thin crown glass on both sides using glass paint and transparent enamel. The two panes were then held together in the surrounding frame by putty.

The window was created by glass artist Francis Eginton and is signed by him in the lower left pane of the central section: 'Frs. Eginton 1803'.
