Tiffany Gallery, within the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows.

Here are some of the work of Anges F. Northrop..

Autumn Landscape [1890s]..

This window is from Tiffany's Impressionist period. Selected sheets of Favrile glass are combined into a sky as "impressionist" as one produced by the painters. The window appears even more spontaneous because of the light that is transmitted through it, a uniqueness of glass unknown to the painters on canvas.

 

Landscape with Yellow Sky [1915]..

A superb late example of Louis Comfort Tiffany's mastery of stained glass in a landscape. The window shows how Tiffany's style evolved from Impressionist to a greater degree of realism, without sacrificing the spiritual impact.

 

Landscape with waterfall [1920s]..

This window demonstrates how Tiffany's craftsmen manipulated several kinds of glass to create extraordinary naturalness..

- Motted Glass - recreate intense sunlight as filtered through the leaves of the trees

- Striated glass evokes movement of the water in the foreground

- Playing several layers of colored glass in the reverse create the impression of distant, misty mountain peaks..
