Description
Antique priceless Louis Tiffany stained glass windows in the St Luke Methodist church in Dubuque Iowa. Installed from 1896 they were among the first to have colour placed in the glass rather than painted on the surface. These windows show the Ascension of Christ, The Angel of Victory and The Good Shepherd. This latter window is considered to be Tiffany's finest production in glass. The crown of thorns and the glow on Jesus face is remarkable. The winged angel announcing the Resurrection included purple grapes. The center window is the Ascension of Christ and it shows Jesus in robes of pearl surrounded by cherubic faces that flash like opals.
