===Stained glass=== {{main|Stained glass windows by Harry Clarke}} [[File:Genova-Windows P8.JPG|thumb|upright=1|[[Geneva Window]], 1930]] Clarke produced more than 130 windows; he and his brother Walter had taken over his father's studio after his death in 1921.<ref name="Andrews and White" /> His glass is distinguished by the finesse of its drawing and his use of rich colours, and innovative integration of the window leading as part of the overall design, originally inspired by an early visit to see the stained glass of the [[Cathedral of Chartres]]. He was especially fond of deep blues. Clarke's use of heavy lines in his black-and-white book illustrations echoes his glass techniques.<ref name="Costigan and Cullen" /> Clarke's stained glass work includes many religious windows, but also much secular stained glass. Highlights of the former include his first and finest work - the 11 windows of the [[Honan Chapel]] in [[University College Cork]];<ref>{{cite book |last=De Breffny |first=Brian |author-link= |date=1983 |title=Ireland: A Cultural Encyclopedia |url= |location=London |publisher=Thames and Hudson |page=65 |isbn=}}</ref> of the latter, a window illustrating [[John Keats]]' ''[[The Eve of St. Agnes]]'' (now in the [[Hugh Lane Municipal Gallery]] in Dublin) and the ''[[Geneva Window]]'', created for the [[Centre William Rappard]] in Geneva, Switzerland (now in the [[Wolfsonian-FIU|Wolfsonian Museum]], Miami, Florida, US).<ref name="Costigan and Cullen" /> Perhaps his most seen works were the windows he made for [[Bewley's|Bewley's CafΓ©]] on Dublin's [[Grafton Street, Dublin|Grafton Street]],<ref name="Andrews and White" /> which were subject to court proceedings in 2022 in a dispute between landlord and tenant over ownership, as ''[[RGRE v Bewley's]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.businesspost.ie/news/judgment-on-bewleys-harry-clarke-windows-is-delayed/|title=Judgment on Bewley's Harry Clarke windows is delayed|website=Business Post}}</ref>
