Harry Clarke





As for traditional stained glass artists one of my biggest favorites is the Irish illustrator Harry Clarke, born in 1889. Most known for his haunting black and white illustrations for Tales by Hans Christian Andersen and Edgar Allan Poe’s Tales of Mystery and Imagination, his stained glass windows were without peer. Unfortunately his stunning contributions to art, literature and stained glass were cut short by tuberculosis at the young age of 41.
