Design for church interior with Noli Me Tangere window. Artist: Louis Comfort Tiffany (American, New York 1848-1933 New York). Culture: American. Dimensions: Overall: 20 7/8 x 20 3/4in. (53 x 52.7cm). Maker: Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company (American, 1892-1902). Date: ca. 1890-1900.Tiffany conceived his interiors as complete works of art, and his holistic approach is evident in this drawing of an altar wall. Beneath ornate mosaic arches are a beautifully rendered stained-glass window of Christ appearing to Mary Magdalen, an embroidered velvet hanging, a stone memorial tablet, gold-colored columns, and decorative wall painting. The ornamental mosaic decoration plays an important role in unifying these diverse elements. Done almost entirely in gold, green, and purple, it embraces the overall color palette of the church. Its intricate patterns are picked up in the embroidery of the velvet hanging and the wall painting bordering the window. Together, the mosaic and the mosaic-like el

Pondicherry was the capital of the former French territories in India. Besides Pondi itself - acquired from a local ruler in 1674 - these included Chandernagore in Bengal (1690); Mahé in Kerala (1725); Yanam in Andhra Pradesh (1731); and Karaikal in Tamil Nadu (1739). Chandernagore was returned to India three years after independence, in 1951, and was absorbed into West Bengal. Returned to India in 1956, the remaining four territories were constituted as the Union Territory of Pondicherry in 1962. Today Karaikal, Yanam and Mahé are all small seaside resort towns, known chiefly for their cheap beer made possible by Pondicherry's light alcohol taxes. Karaikal, on the Coromandel Coast 100 kilometres south of Pondicherry, is similar to rural Pondi - a prosperous, Tamil-speaking enclave renowned for the abundance of its rice harvests. Yanam, located on the coast of Andhra Pradesh more than 600 kilometres north of Madras, is a tiny, Telugu-speaking town on a branch of the Godavari River. Mah
