The Stained-Glass Windows of St. Andrew’s Dune Church

Stained-glass windows are superb works of art, and the forty-five stunning windows in St. Andrew’s Dune Church make this intimately scaled house of worship one of the most picturesque summer resort churches on the eastern seaboard. In her authoritative text, Metropolitan Museum of Art curator Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen recounts the storied history of the church, including the devastation to the building and many of its windows caused by the Hurricane of 1938, and describes each window in vivid detail: its subject, artistic style, and the person it memorializes. Illustrated with beautiful photographs of the exterior and interior of the church by Tria Giovan and specially commissioned images of every window by Joseph Cosca Jr., The Stained-Glass Windows of St. Andrew’s Dune Church brings a little-known treasure of American decorative arts history to a wide audience.
