SHINING PICTURES
As a family business, which has gathered extensive experience with restoration and glass preservation since 1930, we were given the opportunity to contribute to the exhibition.
Shining pictures – they are omnipresent and yet they are mostly overlooked. The gorgeous glass windows of Vorarlberg’s churches are among the largest pictures on public display. In their iconography, history and art history, they are no longer familiar and comprehensible to the majority of people. If you let yourself in on it, the art of stained glass is uniquely fascinating. Its attraction is based on the tension between the glass as the basic material and the ever-changing light, which brings the colors to life.
Glass Preservation and Restoration. Preserving History for the Future now.
The restoration and preservation of historical glass art requires a lot of skills. Technical and economic factors must be equally considered, the requirements of monument protection and the details of building diagnostics must be included. In order for history to be experienced in the future, it takes professionals who go to work with craftsmanship and modern technology – without ignoring the traditional methods. Professionals, like those at Glas Marte.
