Simpsons on stained glass

Taking inspiration from popular culture, Joseph Cavalieri (American, b 1961) has reinvented painted stained glass as an expression of a personal vision. This web site explores the full range of Cavalieri’s creative work, including seven “Missing Episode” series (click the “Simpsons Series” link to the left), the creation of “real” two headed bird sculptures, silk screened muscle men, and multiple commissions, informs cavaglass.com.
The 7 Simpsons panels place characters in scenes of murder, death and dying. Something that could never happen on the series explains Cavalieri... “If Bart and Lisa really were crucified, they simply couldn’t come back next week on the series”
“..dark and achingly funny.” writes Cate McQuaid of the Boston Globe. “Il Momento Della Morte” was recently purchased by John Frink, a Simpsons writer.
The technique involved in creating these multi layered stained glass panels date back to medieval times. Each piece of glass is hand cut and painted, then kiln-fired to 1250 degrees Fahrenheit (677 Celsius), melting the paint permanently onto the glass. It is then soldered and placed in a wall mounted light box.
