Taft Museum of Art
June 11 - September 11, 2011
Cincinnati, Ohio,
Visitors to the Taft this summer will have the unusual experience of viewing a series of brilliantly colorful eight-foot-tall angels in Louis Comfort Tiffany’s unmistakable iridescent stained glass. The angel windows, which exemplify many of his innovations, once ornamented the apse (altar end) of a church in Cincinnati.
Also on view—only at the Taft—will be some fine Cincinnati art-carved furniture created by Henry L. Fry and other decorative arts objects, all from the same church. These hand-carved interior furnishings, including the ornate altar, date from the second half of the 19th century, when Cincinnati had an international reputation as a center for the decorative arts. Together, the furniture and stained-glass windows that will be exhibited at the Taft comprised the interior décor for the Church of the New Jerusalem, completed in 1903 by leading Cincinnati architects Elzner and Anderson.

At the turn of the 20th century, Tiffany windows were in great demand. Given that an estimated 50 percent of Tiffany's church windows have since been lost, the rediscovery of this series of seven marvelous pieces is significant.
The companion exhibition for the Tiffany windows is drawn from the collections of MoFA and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, featuring the wonderful work of Benedetto Gennari II (Italian, 1633-1715) as well as other prints and drawings with angelic presences.

The culmination of a decades-long journey for revival of the extraordinary pieces, created by Tiffany Studios in New York in the early 1900's, and depicting the “Angels Representing the Seven Churches.” The remarkable stained-glass windows – showing the seven angels of the churches in Asia to whom letters are written in the Bible’s Book of Revelation – haven’t been seen together publicly for more than 40 years.
