Summary

Description
English: Seen here is a stained glass window designed in 1904 by preeminent American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and originally installed in the Darwin D. Martin House in Buffalo, New York. The "Tree of Life" design of this window is the best-known of the recurring motifs Wright used in his stained glass, perhaps because it embodies a synthesis of several of his most important design ideas: the imagery of a stylized tree jibes with his practice of so-called "organic architecture" (wherein a building, seen as fundamentally inseparable from its site, incorporates references to indigenous natural elements in its design); the angular geometry matches that of his preferred Prairie Style, and the "leaves" feature a rapid alternation of light and dark colors that make for an interesting play of light in the building's interior, a classic Wright trope. As seen in the "35 Centuries of Glass" gallery during an April 2022 visit to the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.
