Francis Eginton (1737-1805), The Prospect Hill Studio and Glass Painting in late Georgian Britain.

Why did a successful Birmingham toy-maker and entrepreneur take up the business of glass painting, on an architectural scale, in the late eighteenth century? What were the philosophical, religious, and technological drivers of his paintings; and how did he attract his elite clients? This illustrated talk focuses on some of Eginton’s remaining works, together with other eighteenth century comparison and contextual pieces from the Stained Glass Museum’s own collection.
