Example here is Madonna, traditional painted stained glass window. Traditional stained glass window, I like to try out new techniques or brush up on old once by creating a small scale painted stained glass window inspired by one from the old masters long gone, usually I focus on hands or faces and create a newly painted stained glass window small scale like 'Madonna'. A great opportunity to own a traditional painted small scale stained glass window for your own home. * Displayed painted stained glass window of 'Madonna' is sold but of course you may order one like this one. Please note every hand painted window of the same design (motive) will be slightly different from the other, every one is hand painted, unique and one of a kind! Maybe you have seen a beautiful painted stained glass window online, pinterest or while visiting a Cathedral somewhere in Europe and fell in love with it. Here is your opportunity to own a small scale section of a traditional hand painted stained glass window for your own home. Executed by using old World craftsmanship and know how. *Accepting custom work is depending on a approval of image/photo send to studio, only painted stained glass windows from old masters long gone will be re-created. Image size has to be DIN 4 letter size. Custom work starts at $1200 and goes up from there depending on motive, please get an estimate from GabrielStudiosArt first. To create Madonna several glass painting techniques were used and the painted face was fired 6 times before reaching the in depth shaded appearance. Silver stain was applied in the halo, also known as yellow stain, is used to create a yellow color on clear glass. The technique of silver stain was introduced to stained glass in the early 1300 and involves painting silver onto a piece of glass and then firing it in the kiln. Silver staining is the technique from which the term 'stained glass' derives. The leaded stained glass design was cemented to achieve an antique look and strong hold to last for the next Centuries to come. Madonna measures 11 ½ inches high by 9 3/8 inches wide All custom designs after your chosen motive of a traditional painted stained glass window will measure between 9 to 12 inches wide and 11 to 14 inches high depending on the artists (Gabriel) design. Stained glass window has hangers and comes with a 17 inch chain for easy display in a window.
