Landscape with Waterfalls, early 1920s.
This window demonstrates how Tiffany's craftsmanship manipulated several kinds of glass to create extraordinary naturalness. Mottled glass recreates intense sunlight as filtered through the leaves of the trees. Striated glass evokes movement of the water in the foreground. Plating several layers of coloured glass on the reverse creates the impression of distant misty, mountain peaks.
And if you analyze it piece by piece, it shouldn't make any sense at all...
