Original Description
Harry Clarke’s Design for Geneva Window showing the Countess Cathleen is a mesmerizing fusion of stained glass artistry and literary inspiration, radiating an ethereal, dreamlike atmosphere. Drawing from W.B. Yeats’ play The Countess Cathleen, the piece showcases Clarke’s signature Art Nouveau-meets-Symbolism style, with intricate linear details, jewel-toned hues, and hauntingly expressive figures. Created in 1929 for an International Labour Office competition, this unrealized design epitomizes Clarke’s mastery of narrative depth and decorative brilliance. Though controversial for its Celtic Revival themes and occult undertones, it remains a pinnacle of early 20th-century Irish stained glass art, bridging mythology and modernity. Its ghostly elegance and layered symbolism secure its status as a landmark in both decorative arts and Irish cultural heritage.
For interiors, this design would shine in a study, library, or lounge where its mythic storytelling can spark conversation. Frame a high-quality print in an ornate gold or black frame to echo its Art Nouveau roots, and place it against muted walls (slate gray, ochre, or deep green) to let its stained-glass palette pop. Pair with rich textures like velvet upholstery or aged brass accents for a luxe, vintage vibe. Opt for a medium-to-large size (24x36 inches or bigger) to appreciate its intricate details. In offices, it could inspire creativity in creative industries—consider pairing it with minimalist furniture to balance its complexity. Soft, directional lighting will mimic the glow of actual stained glass, enhancing its mystical allure.
