===Revival in Germany, Austria and beyond=== During the mid- to late 19th century, many of Germany's ancient buildings were restored, and some, such as [[Cologne Cathedral]], were completed in the medieval style. There was a great demand for stained glass. The designs for many windows were based directly on the work of famous engravers such as [[Albrecht Dürer]]. Original designs often imitate this style. Much 19th-century German glass has large sections of painted detail rather than outlines and details dependent on the lead. The Royal Bavarian Glass Painting Studio was founded by Ludwig I in 1827.<ref name=GC/> A major firm was [[Mayer of Munich]], which commenced glass production in 1860, and is still operating as [http://www.mayer-of-munich.com/ ''Franz Mayer of Munich, Inc.'']. German stained glass found a market across Europe, in America and Australia. Stained glass studios were also founded in Italy and Belgium at this time.<ref name=GC/> In the [[Austrian Empire]] and later [[Austria-Hungary]], one of the leading stained glass artists was Carl Geyling, who founded his studio in 1841. His son would continue the tradition as [[Carl Geyling's Erben]], which still exists today. Carl Geyling's Erben completed numerous stained-glass windows for major churches in Vienna and elsewhere, and received an imperial and [[royal warrant of appointment]] from emperor [[Franz Joseph I of Austria]]. <gallery style="font-size:95%;line-height:1.35" class="center" widths="200" heights="200"> File:Cologne Cathedral window, interior view (1).jpg|One of five windows donated by [[Ludwig II of Bavaria]] to [[Cologne Cathedral]] (19th century) File:Bruxels April 2012-11a.jpg|Three scenes of the ''Legend of the [[Sacrament of Miracle]]'', [[Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula]], Brussels, Belgium ({{circa|1870}}) File:Catherine of Sweden (1568) & pages c 1875.jpg|Queen [[Karin Månsdotter|Catherine of Sweden]] (1568) with two pages, [[Turku Cathedral]], Finland ({{circa|1875}}) File:Stained glass in Saint Maurice churche, Olomouc.jpg|A window in the Late Gothic style, [[Church of Saint Maurice (Olomouc)|St Maurice's Church, Olomouc]], Czech Republic (early 20th century) </gallery>
