""The Tiffany Studios window is remarkable for incorporating light itself as a material, using the luminosity of glass," Jen Padgett, the museum's curator of craft, said over email."
""When approaching the window, visitors walk through a passageway with views of the wooded landscape surrounding the museum, further emphasizing the connection to nature.""
The Tiffany Studios altar window, Mountain Landscape, was a source of pride for Sunset Ridge Church but also an insurance liability, leading to its roping off for a decade. The church sought a public home for the window, which was acquired by Crystal Bridges Museum. Installed in the Visions of America Galleries, the window underwent conservation and is showcased with nature-themed artworks. Curator Jen Padgett noted its unique use of light and the connection to the surrounding landscape.
