Frederick Wilson

Frederick Wilson (3 November 1858 - 24 March 1932) was a British stained glass artist best known for his work with the American Art Nouveau glass manufacturer Tiffany Studios in New York. He was a prominent and prolific designer of ecclesiastical windows in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designing more than 500 windows in his three decades with Tiffany Studios. Although little is known about Wilson's early artistic education, there is evidence that he attended the South Kensington School, which was associated with the South Kensington Museum (now known as the Victoria and Albert Museum).

In 1897, Wilson became Tiffany Studio's chief window designer. Two years later, in 1899, he was appointed the head of the Ecclesiastical Department. During this time he maintained his own studio in Briarcliff Manor, New York, and would often work there instead of at the Tiffany Studios factory in Corona, Queens.

After 30 years and more than 500 windows designed and executed, Wilson left Tiffany Studios in 1923.

Wilson's final commission was for a series of windows to be installed in Garrett Memorial Chapel in Jerusalem, New York. He completed the designs for the windows in 1931, but did not live to see their installation in 1932. The Righteous Shall Receive a Crown of Glory (1901), originally installed in the United Methodist Church in Waterville, New York. This window was commissioned by Ira and Mary Brainard in memory of Charles Green. It is now in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass. Angel of the Resurrection (1904), originally installed in First Presbyterian Church, Indianapolis, Indiana. The windows were removed and donated in 1972 to the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where they remain on permanent exhibition. The Te Deum (1906), originally installed in First Presbyterian Church, Syracuse, New York. Good Shepherd and Landscape (1909), originally installed the Stony Wold Sanatorium chapel in Lake Kushaqua, New York. The window was donated by Mrs. Walter Geer to Stony Wold in memory of her sister, Miss Martha Potter. It is now divided between the collections of the New-York Historical Society and the Neustadt. The Prayer of the Christian Soldier (1919), installed in First Presbyterian Church (now United Presbyterian Church) in Binghamton, New York. Anselm and Wycliff, (1920s) Saint John's Chapel at the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
