Designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, this window achieves remarkable
color effects without any paint. The purple hills, yellow to bluish-purple
sky, orange and red trees, grey rocks, and a blue-green stream all
glow with a warm, reflective light.
Reminiscent of the landscape paintings of the Hudson River School,
as well as traditional Christian stained glass windows in churches
and cathedrals, the window invokes the beauty of the land. The stream
in the foreground, leading the eye back up to the mountains in the
distance, provides a focus for meditation.
