Brian Thomas (church artist)

Brian Thomas (1912–1989) OBE was a British artist best known for his decorative work in church buildings, particularly murals and stained glass.

There he won a scholarship to the British School at Rome to study mural painting and travelled widely in Italy and Spain.

[5] A photograph of Thomas at work in his studio in St John's Wood, London, taken about 1955 by Chris Ware (Keystone Features) can be found in the Getty Images online database.

[6] It shows him painting glass panels for newly commissioned altar rails at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.

The chapel's altar-rails project is described, with images of the panels themselves, in the December 1956 Report of the Society of the Friends of St George's and Descendants of the Knights of the Garter[7]
