The 107 photographs presented here are the first published overview of Canada's stained glass.  The sequence is from West to East,  from Vancouver Island on the Pacific Ocean to Nova Scotia on the Atlantic.

Each photo in the survey  is briefly annotated,  and navigates to its adjacent images. You can also go directly to any photo by clicking on its thumbnail

Since its formal  founding in 1867,  Canada has been nourished by the deep art traditions of its two mother nations,  England and France,  and by open doors to people from every continent. 

While not comprehensive, the series does  suggest the wide range of  styles  and technique used by Canadian and European studios.  There are unexpected delights from several countries,  such as  a window created in 1533  for the Benedictine Priory at Flavigny-sur-Moselle in France, by the Master glazier of Metz Cathedral, Valentin Bousch.
