REVIVAL IN EUROPE

During the mid to late 19th century, many of Germany's ancient buildings were restored, and some, such as Cologne were completed in the medieval style. There was a great demand for stained glass. The designs for many windows were based directly on the work of famous engravers such as Albrecht. Original designs often imitate this style. Much 19th century German glass has large sections of painted detail rather than outlines and details dependent on the lead. German stained glass found a market across Europe, in America and Australia. Stained glass studios were also founded in Italy and Belgium at this time
