The book 'Vidrieros' explores the fascinating world of medieval artisans who created stained glass windows. It describes the origins of this art, the techniques used, such as design, color, and the use of albums with models. The authors explain the circumstances of the commission of the works by the clients, the design and execution of the stained glass window by the stained glass painters, their education, social position, and how they worked. It also describes the decline of this activity and the destruction of many stained glass windows during the Protestant Reformation. The book is illustrated with examples from cathedrals, churches, and castles in Europe, enriching the knowledge of art and architecture lovers of the Middle Ages.
