Os vitrais atingiram o auge de sua popularidade no período vitoriano. Mas como é que se tornaram tão popular e quem estava envolvido neste avivamento notável? O entusiasmo por essas obras de arte, muitas vezes requintadas, espalhou-se de grupos especializados de antiquários e arquitectos para um segmento muito mais amplo do público vitoriano. Ao olhar para o vitral da perspectiva do pintor e do patrono, e ao considerar como os vitrais eram avaliados, comprados e vendidos, este estudo esclarecedor traça o surgimento do mercado de vitrais na Inglaterra vitoriana. Assim, ele contém novos pontos de vista sobre o renascimento do gótico (neo-gótico) e a relação entre a arquitectura e as artes decorativas.

Stained glass reached the height of its popularity in the Victorian period. But how did it become so popular and who was involved in this remarkable revival? The enthusiasm for these often exquisite pieces of artwork spread from specialist groups of antiquarians and architects to a much wider section of the Victorian public. By looking at stained glass from the perspective of both glass-painter and patron, and by considering how stained glass was priced, bought and sold, this enlightening study traces the emergence of the market for stained glass in Victorian England. Thus it contains new insights into the Gothic Revival and the relationship between architecture and the decorative arts.
