This technique was known as grisaille and a wonderful example can be seen in the window that depicts the Annunciation of the Lord at York Minster. In the 13th century, colored glass was painted onto clear glass. This enabled artists to create more realistic and detailed depictions of their subjects. The most commonly used color was blue as it is a color that is associated with Heaven.
The movement of the arts and crafts in the 19th century, with its emphasis on hand craftsmanship, led to the revival of stained glass. This was partly due to the excesses that were associated with the Gothic revival, a movement backed by architects like Augustus Welby Pugin. At this time, the art of glass painting became more specific. Artists began working in studios and shared facilities, as well as working in teams.
