Gormenghast stained glass window

The New York based stained glass artist, Joseph Cavalieri, has produced a very attractive montage in glass to fulfil a commission from a Peake fan. Aspects of Gormenghast have been incorporated into the work that include the Countess's cats, the outer dwellers houses, and the castle seen in the background as a looming presence.

The apartment has a excellent variety of tasteful art, but not all in one theme. I could totally see this panel hanging in a Medieval castle!

To see 5 detail photos of the Gormenghast panel visit the artist site at: http://www.cavaglass.com/gallery/Gormenghast2.htm

thank you Joseph. Your art is smart and funny, as well as beautiful. A neo-gothic scottish castle full of your works, that should be something worth of seeing! un ciao dall'Italia e i miei migliori auguri per il tuo lavoro..
