Riverside Chapel in the Mountains Panel #14347
A small wooden chapel with a steeple rests quietly at the edge of a river, nestled beneath towering alpine peaks. The scene unfolds in three vertical panels, drawing the viewer’s gaze from a winding path through dense forest to the still water and dramatic mountain backdrop. The hand-drawn textures and tonal layering evoke a pastoral tradition rooted in American landscape painting, translated here into stained glass with precision and warmth. The balance of natural majesty and human presence recalls early 20th-century religious windows designed to offer a sense of peace, solitude, and spiritual refuge.
