Stained glass at Palau Güell
4 Jun
Happy Monday! How about kick-starting the week with some stained glass? Not just any old stained glass though, this is stained glass at Palau Güell!
Much use was made by Gaudí of stained glass elements at this gorgeous palace, starting with some very plain and simple stained glass (in the sense that it is bits of coloured glass inset into lead or iron but with no actual images painted).
