Stained glass in the Franciscan church in Cracow

 Anyone interested in stained glass who visits Cracow should see the Franciscan church in that city. The curch itself is late Gothic but the windows date from the end of the 19th century and are one of the best examples of art nouveau windows anywhere. They were designed by Stanislaw Wyspianski, the best known art nouveau artist in Poland. His window over the western door representing God the Father in the act of creation is certainly impressive.
