Famous Stained Glass Windows

See how stained glass changes a room, from the rings of tiny figures at Notre-Dame de Paris to the colored light that spills across the floor of a mosque in Shiraz. These photographs show the windows from inside, where you can see how the glass, stonework, and light shape what you notice first. Look for the dark lines that make a medieval story legible, the layers that give a Tiffany landscape its depth, and the patterns that emerge when Gerhard Richter works in squares and Sigmar Polke works in slices of stone.
