All this was changed by the men who in a later age ground up their enamel pigments, glazed windows in large panes, and daubed upon them their muddy colors, with a sublime contempt for the crude laborious mosaic work of their pre- decessors. Would the}^ have a representa- tion of the earth for their figure to stand upon ? it must be carpeted with grass, with green grass, and they can paint green grass upon a colorless surface; red flowers also, upon the same, with red paint, if such were desired.... The Renaissance was coming; Gothic was barbarous any- way ; antiquated crudities must give place to refined work worthy of the new en- lightenment! Paint a picture on canvas, then paint that picture on your glass. It can be done, certainly, if you will not allow yourself to be bothered with the nuisance of leads, but just get an ample pane of glass, unobstructed, and go at it with your brush and paints! This miserable travesty did not long hold sway, it was scarcely permitted to go its own theoretical length.
