Summary | "Stained Glass Tours in France" by Charles Hitchcock Sherrill is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a guide focused on exploring and appreciating the beauty of stained glass windows across various cathedrals and churches in France. Sherrill aims not only to direct readers to notable examples of stained glass but also to evoke an appreciation for this art form, particularly through the lens of historical and architectural significance. At the start of this guide, the author sets the stage for a unique exploration of stained glass, emphasizing its allure and significance in French cathedrals, particularly the thirteenth century. Sherrill reflects on his journey through France, describing how stained glass transformed ordinary light into a kaleidoscope of color within sacred spaces. By using Paris's Sainte Chapelle and Notre Dame as starting points, he establishes a framework for future explorations, inviting readers to engage with various regions and epochs of stained glass art, while also sharing insights on viewing techniques to enhance their experience. The introduction suggests a delightful blend of practical touring advice and artistic appreciation, making it an enticing read for art lovers and travelers alike.
