Michael O'Connor (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael O'Connor (1801 – 25 June 1867) was an Irish stained-glass artist based successively in Dublin, Bristol and London. A pupil of Thomas Willement, he developed a Gothic Revival style under the influence of Augustus Pugin, with whom he worked. He acquired a high reputation,[1] and was commissioned to create windows for several cathedrals in England, Wales and Ireland. He is now seen as one of the leading stained-glass artists of his generation working in Britain.[2] His stained-glass firm survived his death, initially under the management of his sons, and lasted until 1915.
