Stained glass Triptych
Body
A triptych-like representation of an idyllic pastoral landscape (Kalotaszeg). The gently rolling terrain of fields and pastures is articulated by wooded groves and scattered farmsteads. At the compositional center appears an archetypal image of a Hungarian church and cemetery. The drawing style is already distinctly characteristic of Kós.
Designs for stained-glass windows were a common feature of architectural projects prior to 1914 and reflect the architect’s sustained attention to interior details, a concern that remained consistent throughout his entire career.
