Web Description:

The Tiffany Studios in Corona, Long Island, produced hundreds of stained glass windows. Although the majority of these windows depicted religious themes (since churches were Louis Comfort Tiffany’s most regular clients), the landscape windows best illustrate Tiffany’s range as a stained glass designer. In his landscape windows, Tiffany further defined his ideas for an American Art Nouveau style, using nature as his guide in the creation of original compositions in subtle and shifting colors. The original location of this window is unknown, but it may have been commissioned for a private residence.
