Abstract
In the preceding chapters we deduced from physical and psychological data the conditions, which the rooms of a picturegallery must satisfy. It was found that the application of an opal-sheet-glass skylight to rooms lighted from above, meets the various demands to a great extent, that, however, a further improvement of the lighting can only be obtained by either applying a second skylight or a velum. It was also made clear that for this second skylight figured glass must be used. Before entering into a discussion about the construction of the rooms, it will, therefore, be advisable to deal with the relevant properties of figured glass a little longer. Since this kind of glass will always be used underneath the opal-sheet-glass, its colour and the angular distribution of the emergent light, only in the case of diffuse incident light, were investigated. A detailed description of the experiments and their results is given in Appendix ยง 2. Here the following statements will be sufficient.
