Louis Comfort Tiffany's pictorial works are still regarded as his most imperative. They can be found in the most prestigious institutions, including The Smithsonian and Yale University. Only the very wealthy could afford to place a private commission and among Tiffany's clients were Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), Andrew Carnegie, gold and lead mining tycoon Joseph Delemar and Cornelius Vanderbilt. In fact, most accomplished stained glass artisans charged $3.00 ($2,900 today) for a day's labor, while a work by Tiffany could run, at the least, between $3,500 to $5,000 ($3.3 to $4.7 million).

Tiffany considered his "paintings in glass" to be the purest expression of the stained glass art because he chose to not use pigment. His theory and practice required the glass used in his windows to be of an outstanding quality. All color and texture was a part of the actual glass. Folds, shadows and distance affects were achieved without paint, etching or enamel, through varying combinations of his favrile with other opalescent glasses. Tiffany's innovative technique was deemed a breakthrough not only in glassmaking but fine art as well.
