Stained glass with birds
IKO Studio has created a series of stained glass with birds, so we decided to create a page on our blog that collects these works.
Birds have always fascinated or terrified humans for the ability to fly denied to humans for centuries.
For this reason birds have been represented in art since ancient times, an example are the cave paintings in the Lascaux caves in France dating back to more than 17,000 years ago.
With the use of stained glass in private homes, many artists have created stained glass windows with birds. In England in the Victorian era it was typical to make leaded stained glass windows with a central roundels painted with flowers or birds. In the art nouveau period, many stained glass windows with peacocks or parrots were created. The most famous are those designed by the
Tiffany studios. Also in Italy, the artist Duilio Cambellotti created various stained glass windows with birds, among the most famous the
stained glass window with peacocks visible in the museum of Villa Torlonia.
