Art Nouveau stained glass window www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0XotjqSAjA Born in 1865, Miksa Róth was 19 years old when he took over his father Zsigmond’s workshop. The craft of glass painting was still in its infancy. In 1855 English glass workers succeeded in creating an "antique glass" effect. This coloured glass was suitable for the repair and restoration of the windows of medieval churches, as well as for decorating the new romantic, and the historically eclectic designs. By 1880, workshops were sprouting up in the capital, the most significant of which belonged to Miksa Róth, who at the turn of the century was providing work for 10 trainees, working on both public and private building commissions. Miksa Róth’s first significant work was in 1886 in Máriafalva (Mariasdorf, Austria) where Imre Steindl was leading the reconstruction of the Roman Catholic church. Earlier Róth had studied the stained glass windows of Gothic cathedrals on a tour of Europe. During the reconstruction of many other national monuments, Róth designed Gothic stained glass windows at Keszthely for the reconstruction of the Roman Catholic church led by Samu Pecz (architect of the main market hall in Budapest) in 1896. In Budapest, you can see examples of his beautiful work in the Gresham Palace (now the newly opened Four Seasons hotel), the Agricultural Museum, the Music Academy and the Andrássy Dining Room amongst many others. The plans for the stained glass windows of the Parliament building were prepared in 1890. Róth took into account both the staircase’s light source and the building’s interior decoration, and decided to use the Grotesque style originating from the Renaissance period. Reflecting the multi-coloured nature of Hungarian architecture at the turn of the century, Róth created windows in many styles: Historic, Hungarian Secession, Art Nouveau, Jugendstil and Viennese Secession. Róth’s craft was given a new inspiration when he saw the "opalescent" and "favril" glass made by Louis Comfort Tiffany, whose display at the 1893 Chicago World Trade Fair, entitled Four Seasons featured shimmering, iridescent colours and an immediately popular natural marbling effect of the glass. Róth was also influenced by the work of the English pre-Raphaelite artists, in particular Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris. In 1897, Miksa Róth bought a collection of opalescent glass from the Hamburg glass painter Karl Engelbrecht, and began to regularly order glass from his factory. At the 1898 Budapest Museum of Applied Arts’ Christmas Exhibition Róth displayed glass windows prepared using a type of Tiffany glass, seen for the first time in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Róth won the silver medal at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 with the Pax and Rising Sun mosaics made with opalescent glass. The Róth workshop then made a large number of stained glass windows with floral designs, whose success could be attributed to the nostalgia felt by people living then in large cities for the lost world of nature. In Budapest the stairwells and lifts were brightened up with luxuriant gardens in place of the drab partition walls and dark corridors. Middle class citizens even decorated their parlours with the symbolic motives of flowers: Irises, lilies, sunflowers, poppies and roses, birds such as peacocks and swans, and fauns, nymphs, fairies and female figures frolicking in gardens, arbours and riverbanks to recall the lost period of the Golden Age. One of Róth’s most significant creations using opalescent glass was for cupola of the Teatro Nacional in Mexico City, which he carried out according to designs by Géza Maróti.With this work he showed details of geometric design of the Jugenstil and Viennese Secession which he also used in windows for Bank Building (1905 Ignác Alpár), the Gresham Palace (1907 Zsigmond Quittner and József Vágó) and the Music Academy (1907 Flóris Korb and Kálmán Giergl) . Róth worked with many of the best architects, builders and designers of the time. For Ödön Lechner's magnificent Post Office Savings Bank building, Róth created an unusual mosaic, embedded into cement. In 1910, Róth created the gorgeous windows of the Culture Palace in Marosvásárhely (Targu Mures in Romania). In the Hall of Mirrors, scenes from traditional Székely fairy tales, ballads and legends are featured in the 12 stained glass windows which fill the entire length of the long hall. It is worth a visit to Marosvásárhely alone to stand among these magical and colourful designs. Róth worked for a long time in conjunction with two artists from the Gödöllô artists’ settlement, Sándor Nagy and Aladár Kriesch Körösfôi. Together they created the Hungarian Secession style windows for the National Salon and the windows and mosaics for the Hungarian House in Venice. For the Marosvásárhely Culture House triptych, also based on Nagy’s designs, Róth used a special medieval technique, employing thick leading and strong lines. From the 1920s Róth mainly received commissions from the Church and State. He died in 1944 after a lifetime of bringing joy and colour to the world with his beautiful creations. ____ Róth Miksa (1865. december 26. Pest - 1944. június 14. Budapest) a magyar üvegfestészet és mozaik művészet egyik legjelentősebb alkotója volt. A pesti Eötvös Reálgimnáziumban tanult s az apja műhelyében sajátította el a mesterség alapjait. Később Német-, Francia- és Olaszországban tanulmányozta a kora-középkori üvegfestészet technikáját és képszerkesztési módszerét. A XIII. századi üvegfestészet egész életét meghatározó befolyással volt művészeti tevékenységére. Emlékirataiban a német Sigismund Frankot valamint az angol preraffaelitákat, Burne Jones-t, William Morrist nevezi meg művészeti példaképeinek. Első sikereit historizáló stílusú képeivel érte el: az 1896-os Ezredévi Kiállítás és az Országház üvegfestményei hozták meg számára az országos elismertséget. 1897-től az Osztrák-Magyar Monarchiában elsőként használta fel a Tiffany-üveget szecessziós stílusú alkotásaihoz. Számos hazai és nemzetközi elismerést szerzett: elsőként ő kapta meg az Iparművészeti Állami Aranyérmet, az 1900-as párizsi világkiállításon ezüstéremmel, az 1902-es torinói és az 1904-es St. Louisin pedig arannyal díjazták munkáit. Alkotásai megtalálhatóak az oslói Fegeborg templomtól a mexikói Theatro Nationalig - ahová Maróti Gézával készítettek 1500 négyzetláb nagyságú üvegkupolát és mozaik képeket. 1939-ben, a második zsidó törvény meghozatala után szüntette meg a Nefelejcs utcai házában működő "üvegfestészeti műintézet" tevékenyégét. 1944-ben halt meg. www.rakovszky.net/D1_DisplRemImg/Rako_DRI_ShowARemoteImag... disappearingbudapest.blogspot.hu/2011/03/miksa-roth-geniu... csomalin.csoma.elte.hu/~toti/uvegek/roth.htm nol.hu/kult/20130404-roth_miksa_demotivalasa hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B3th_Miksa

We’ve all seen extraordinary stained glass windows in churches, museums and some friends’ homes. Art nouveau and art deco style homes and public buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries often featured colorful leaded and beveled glass creations. In private homes, builders included fancy glass transoms in rectangular and arched shapes above doors along with beveled sidelight panels. Those that survived are much desired by many home renovators. You can find glass panels in old-fashioned deco styles for sale in some antique shops. Are they really old or relatively new? How can we tell?
The building was built in 1912 for Ernst Lajos, the remarkable art collector, to introduce his rich collection. Design: Fodor Gyula, late Art Nouveau style Stained glass windows: designed by Rippl Rónai József, Falus Elek, made by Róth Miksa Black marble seats (in the hall) and the staircase: design by Lechner Ödön. --------------- Lajos Ernst, a private collector and a well-known figure of Budapest society, founded the Ernst Museum in 1912 at the time, with the aim of making his artistic and historic collection accessible to the general public. The institute was founded as a result of this intention to patronise the arts and, during the last century, it became one of the most significant exhibition spaces for 20th century Hungarian visual arts. The architect Gyula Fodor in Art Nouveau style built the Ernst Museum in 1912. The building, now listed as a historic monument, originally had a cinema on the ground floor, named Tivoli. The first floor housed the private collection and was open as a museum; above it are two floors of private flats and the top floor consists of artist' studios. Special care was taken over the designing of the museum space. The entrance is adorned with copies of renaissance relief portraits of King Mattheus, patron of the arts, and his wife. The black marble seats on the staircase were designed by architect Ödön Lechner and the patterns on the walls, originally painted in different colours, by applied artist Elek Falus. Falus also designed the row of small interior coloured windows, while the large window was conceived by the painter József Rippl-Rónai. As a collector, Lajos Ernst was interested in old as well as modern Hungarian fine art, applied art and architecture and was guided in his museum by his wish to show the continuity of Hungarian art. Besides the permanent exhibition, he also organised temporary ones, showing the work of his most outstanding contemporaries (such as Paul Szinyei Merse for the museum opening) and using material from private collections at home and abroad. (Gedeon Gerlóczy's Csontváry paintings were first shown here in 1930.) He also organised readings and musical programmes - for Béla Bartók among others - and published artists' monographs. From 1917, Ernst also organised auctions which made him and his work a reputation abroad. After the death of Lajos Ernst (1937) the uniquely rich and professionally treated collection was sold in 1939. After the Second World War in 1950, Ernst's former museum was attached to the galleries and provided a space for occasional contemporary art exhibitions. The Ernst Museum hosted projects - thematic, solo and group contemporary art exhibitions - that quickly and flexibly reflect on the social and urban environment, until 2013, sadly it was abolished after 100 years of its foundation. It's now Robert Capa Központ (Centre), only for photography a few hundred meters from Manói Manó House of Hungarian Photography, also in Nagymező street. www.museum.hu/museum/Ernst_Museum/actual?f --------------------- Az Ernst Múzeumról, amelyet 2013-ban 100 év múltán megszüntettek, helyén a Robert Capa Központ van, pár szász méterre a Nagymező utcában a szintén fotográfiával foglalkozó Mai Manó Háztól. kunszt.postr.hu/bezart-az-ernst-muzeum-jon-a-capa-kozpont Az Ernst Múzeumról: www.museum.hu/muzeum/Ernst_Muzeum/aktualis?f

We have always had antique stained glass windows in our homes. I am usually the pick-it-out and tell-him-where -I- want- it window person...while my husband is the do-all-the-work window person. He usally claims all the credit once it is placed somewhere. I figure he deserves about 75-85 % of the credit for all the work . The window above is an antique sunburst window, that he placed in an upstairs bath. I am missing my regular window here, so am trying to talk him in to putting this one somewhere else. I would like to have a regular window to see out into my garden below. This is how it looks in the early morning, or later at night. Antique windows are a wonderful accent in any room. Here is one where he busted through a wall, and simply added more light into a bedroom by installing an antique window. He says you have to make sure the electrical is not in the way, working without load-bearing beams or studs in the way is also helpful. But he can work around those and reframe the area before he puts in the window. All the windows he cleans up and builds a frame around, and then makes a support frame in the wall...and there you have my bright idea. Oh...and all his hard work. The view at night. Here is one of my favorites. I wanted some more light in the upstairs bedroom, and of course , there was no where to put a regular window...but I saw a nice spot in a wall...and my husband put this here for me. I like to have mirrors to reflect views, and views of stained glass windows in walls are unique. Plus... You get a view coming and going...from both sides. We almost always buy the dimpled stained glass windows for the inside walls, to afford privacy still. We have a very large one downstairs, about 4+ feet tall that was used to replace a very ugly view into a brick wall that used to be here. These old houses had garages built directly to the side, and so when you look out you just saw brick. Not anymore. Lots more light. Really like this one. Mr. Do- all -the work , worked hard to replace the other windows with this. Often, if you are replacing outside windows, you will need a brick mason to come repair your wall from the outside afterwards, if your home is brick. My small stained glass window I move up and down ( there is a hook at center too ), to be able to see my garden outside. If you look to the far right you can see my windows on my outside brick wall. You can hang windows on brick walls too. You have to use a masonry bit to drill through the brick or mortar though. You can't just nail a big nail into a brick. Learned that the hard way. I think my hand vibrated for two hours after bending 4 or 5 nails a few times. A large one for a back picture window , that is out towards the back garden. He hangs all these with eye hooks and chain or just one eyehook into another hook. I also like to mix and match the windows , instead of draperies or blinds. Make a tier of stained glass windows. I'm not a perfect matchy-matchy woman anyway in decorating. This one has the eyehook and hook holding it up. The one below has the eyehook and chain. One we bought to put in a downstairs bath to replace regular window. Now what do I spy in the window ? A snake and animal sponges courtesy of my 10 year old. I left them there, one day I will have a house without any rubber snakes to surprise me...I need to enjoy them while I can. This was one he fussed and told me would never work, I didn't want to know how he was going to do it, just thought it would look cool up in the brick instead of the unattractive wood slat vent that was there. I think he fussed for about 3-4 months before he made it work. Now he claims the idea was his . He put a light in the attic to show it off at night but I always forget to turn it on. I'm more the one walking around turning off any extra lights anywhere. That's my excuse. Beautiful one in my eBay room . It is not totally finished , mainly because my husband can no longer reach it with all my stuff in here. I will not show you a wide shot of the surroundings or you would never read my blog again. It is a great light giver to the room, and furthermore ' gives ' light to the adjoining room. That is what is so special about adding stained glass to your walls, or your windows. Brighter ...lighter. I am working on my husband to put another one in a wall upstairs. Typically takes me 4-7 months of asking before he does it. I have to have lots of natural light in my surroundings, a must for my psyche. Have a good one , Gina
