Grace Cathedral in San Francisco

The chapel baptistry and Chapel of Grace windows are by Connick Studios of Boston, Massachusetts. Charles J. Connick (1875-1945) is considered the greatest second-generation American designer of traditional stained glass (see Divine Light). The Chapel of Grace windows were created by Connick at the height of his career, and are recognized as among his finest work. Connick personally oversaw the installation of the chapel windows, shortly before Easter, 1930. Connick Studios' windows can be found in hundreds of churches throughout the United States. Two thirds of Grace Cathedral's windows are Connick creations, including Charles Connick's last window, and other windows as late as 1966. Connick Studios operated from 1912 to 1986. Its heritage lives on in its windows, in Connick's famous book "Adventures in Light and Color" (Random House, 1937), in the Connick Studio archive at the Boston Public Library and in the Charles J. Connick Stained Glass Foundation.
