Have you ever heard of the term "bleeding heart"? You may think of many things when you do, but this article isn't about liberals or suicide, it's about the famed bleeding heart stained glass pattern. If you've ever wondered the true origin of the words bleeding heart, you are in the right place.
The bleeding heart stained glass pattern originally comes from a flower. The dicentra genus has about 20 species of flowering plants native to Asia and North America. The name bleeding heart is used to describe many of the species, because of the flower that grows on the plant. The flower resembles the shape of a heart with a drop falling from it. These flowers are usually pink, red or white and although they may be different sizes, they are typically a small blossom. This flower is so lovely and strange that it inspired stained glass workers early in Victorian times to reproduce its image.
The very unique flower inspired many stories and folklore. Legends of a princess who wept for her prince and stories of unrequited love and suicide are often echoed when people see the flower. But the greatest thing the flower spawned is the bleeding heart stained glass pattern. This pattern lived through hundreds of years and is truly the legend worth remembering.
Floral patterns were always popular in Victorian stained glass art. No one is really sure who first started producing the bleeding heart stained glass pattern, but it shows up in many Victorian-era homes and is still popular today. The pattern might vary from one stained glass panel to the next. Often it resembles the flower very closely. Other times it is quite different, where the artist has used it as more of an abstract guide.
The bleeding heart stained glass pattern is a great pattern to use in your home. Its bright colors and unique shape are true to the Victorian-era stained glass trend. When you are shopping for stained glass, consider this unique and historically rich design. And when your friends ask about it, you can tell them all about the history of the true "bleeding heart".
