glass painting
Pigmented window decoration
Glass painting is the art of applying pigments to glass surfaces to create decorative or pictorial designs.
The term covers both painting on flat glass panels and the decoration of vessels, ornaments, and other glass objects.
Traditional techniques include reverse painting on the back of glass and fired enamel work where pigments are fused to the surface through heating.
The museum's collection includes medieval glass painting from church windows.
