Church of Saint Gontrude

This stained glass window is composed of two lancets. In their center, a medallion contains on the left an eagle (St John) and on the right an angel (St Matthew).

This stained glass window is composed of two slender lancets, typical of Gothic architecture, with a vertical symmetry structured around a central axis. It is characterized by soft colors, including yellow, red, purple and blue, creating a luminous and meditative atmosphere. In the center of each lancet, a circular medallion contains on the left: an eagle, the traditional symbol of Saint John and on the right, an angel or a winged man, the symbol of Saint Matthew. At the base of the windows are biblical inscriptions: "He will come on the clouds of heaven" (Matthew 24:30) and "The Word was made flesh" (John 1:14). The background of the stained glass window rests on a stylized geometric structure, with a vertical axis marked by a stylized cross.
