Its innovation can be compared with that of television - and like television it involves passing light through a transparent layer! using the light of sun instead of light generated by electricity! so that in a real sense the stained glass image is in constant motion! as the light passing through it changes. Zusammenfassung Invented around AD 1000, it soon achieved a dominant position in the arts of the Middle Ages, not only in churches but also in secular contexts.
