Art nouveau stained glass can complement your home.

If you are a fan of stained glass and have been considering a new window, we are at your service! We have to admit, one of our favorite and most popular stained glass styles is Art Nouveau stained glass. Art Nouveau literally means “new art,” because when the style emerged back in the late nineteenth century, it was very different from what had come before.

This style features organic, floral motifs, intricate curving lines, and ornate detail that often includes bright vibrant colors. Art Nouveau stained glass has been popular for a long time because it is just so . . . pretty. And striking. And distinctive. And now, after one hundred years, it is a classic. A classic style that works with so many different decors and styles of homes.

According to the National Gallery of Art, “At its height exactly one hundred years ago, Art Nouveau was a concerted attempt to create an international style based on decoration. It was developed by a brilliant and energetic generation of artists and designers, who sought to fashion an art form appropriate to the modern age. During this extraordinary time, urban life as we now understand it was established. Old customs, habits, and artistic styles sat alongside new, combining a wide range of contradictory images and ideas. Many artists, designers, and architects were excited by new technologies and lifestyles, while others retreated into the past, embracing the spirit world, fantasy, and myth.”

How fascinating to link a style of art to a culture in this way, don’t you think? So the Art Nouveau style appeared in all sorts of artwork, furniture, jewelry, clothing, and of course, Art Nouveau stained glass.
