Some years back, I had the luck of visiting the Byzantine Fresco Chapel in Houston, Texas. At the time, it was the only place in the entire western hemisphere where one could view intact Byzantine frescoes of such size and significance. It was also one of the most elegant examples of a chapel art glass installation that I’ve experienced in this country.
