TIFFANY

“LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY (1848 – 1933) was an American artist and designer who worked in the decorative arts and is best known for his work in stained glass. He is the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements.

“In the beginning of his career, Tiffany used cheap jelly jars and bottles because they had the mineral impurities that finer glass lacked. He began making his own glass. Tiffany used opalescent glass in a variety of colors and textures to create a unique style of stained glass. Tiffany acquired [the] patent for the "copper foil" technique, which, by edging each piece of cut glass in copper foil and soldering the whole together to create his windows and lamps, made possible a level of detail previously unknown. This can be contrasted with the method of painting in enamels or glass paint on colorless glass, and then setting the glass pieces in lead channels, that had been the dominant method of creating stained glass for hundreds of years in Europe.”

Bad hair day?

Bad hair day?

Must be, because the mail stops at his shoulders.

[No name given]

Louis Comfort Tiffany is a Godsend!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well said. I agree.

[Big Red Badger]

Fantastic Work-—
Also like that Tiffany depicted only
Eleven Disciples-—
.
Judas opted for the ‘Smoking’ section.

[Hiskid]

Thank you. I am enjoying your series on different artists.

[Ezekiel]

Must run in that family!

Amazing what will come back to mind on any given day, just in starting off with a little joke. And then like Buzz Lightyear, it will "go beyond".

Mail.

1 Samuel 17
38 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

David [דוד, 14]... put on the whole armor of God!

This is a great revelation because in Hebrew, a postcard is a gluya [גְּלוּיָה].

The root is revelation, discovery (as you can see from that link).

Klein's:

גְּלוּיָה f.n. NH postcard. [Properly f. pass. part. of Biblical Heb. גָּלָה (= he uncovered, revealed). See גלה.]

A postcard is the open/revealed writing that flies right through the mail. Kind of like, "How often do you really look at a man's shoes?"

Yet on the other side, who doesn't enjoy receiving a postcard from a friend who's away on a long journey? Where's he at now? Of course, like looking up at a star or galaxy far, far away -- by the time you see it, it's somewhere else. All part of the fun and surprise.

The scenic messages are attention-getters (or not), like a special sign about something big that already happened:

"Discover the story. Embrace the connection."

[Hebrews 11:6]

Judas opted for the ‘Smoking’ section.

LOL!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you are. Remaining are three artists, with a twist: Benjamin West, Rick Wienecke, and then twelve threads on Tissot.

And then a wholly new series, Women in the Bible.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yet on the other side, who doesn't enjoy receiving a postcard from a friend who's away on a long journey? Where's he at now?

For me, that's very much like these adventuressays of yours with which you pop up and bless me occasionally: always a joy to unpack!

By the way, how I envy your seeming mastery of the biblical languages and, indeed, of the Bible itself. It bespeaks the enormity of the effort you have devoted to it. God hasn't called me to a similar pursuit, but I can certainly appreciate seeing it in others.

Hello Dan, and a day of joy to all!

LC Tiffany produces stunning works indeed. No style of painting can match the play of light thru glass, as the light changes during the day.

“the method of painting in enamels or glass paint on colorless glass”

Does anyone know what “glass paint” is?

Thank You Dan!
