Ludwig Schaffrath is widely respected as a designer of stained glass. He has had a prolific career in Germany (and, later, in Europe, England, the United States, and Japan) spanning 50 years. Unlike other German stained glass designers, such as Jochem Poensgen, Schaffrath uses colors that are very restrained, almost monochromatic. His work in stained glass, which relies on the dynamic use of lead lines, is characterized by expressive abstract compositions.
