This stained glass window depicts the coronation of Charles VII in Reims, a key event in the epic of Saint Joan of Arc.
This stained-glass window, created by J.P. Gaudin, a Parisian master glassmaker, is part of a modern aesthetic, inspired by medieval stained-glass windows but with a stylized and geometric approach. The scene depicts the coronation of Charles VII in Reims, a key event in the epic tale of Saint Joan of Arc. In the center, the bishop offers a golden crown to the kneeling king. This is Charles VII, who officially received his title as King of France during the coronation ceremony in 1429. He is surrounded by ecclesiastical dignitaries, recognizable by their miters and liturgical vestments. To the right, Saint Joan of Arc, dressed in green armor and wearing a white cloak, carries a banner bearing the inscription "JESUS MARIA." In the background, a group of figures observes the scene, some wearing caps or helmets, symbolizing the presence of the French army, nobles, and the people.This stained-glass window, created by J.P.
