This stained glass window depicts a scene of glorification. A standing, glorious Christ is surrounded by adoring saints.
This stained-glass window, composed of two vertical lancets, is topped by a glazed quatrefoil adorned with geometric motifs. The upper and lower sections of each lancet are decorated with geometric ornamental panels, combining diamonds, circles, stars, and multicolored interlacing. The dominant colors of deep blue, bright red, golden yellow, and emerald green create a powerful and stable visual harmony. In the center of the window, a sacred scene unfolds, divided between the two lancets. On the left lancet, Christ, haloed in red, stands, his raised hands revealing the stigmata. He is dressed in a white tunic and a red cloak, the color of the Passion. At his feet, two apostles kneel, hands clasped, immersed in silent prayer. On the right lancet, continuity is assured. Four other haloed figures are depicted in a reverent pose. Above the figures, we see a stylized landscape with idealized city architecture, ramparts, towers, and churches. The glorious Christ standing, showing his wounds, in a stylized architectural setting and surrounded by adoring saints, suggests a scene of glorification.This stained-glass window, composed of two vertical lancets, is topped by a glazed quatrefoil adorned with geometric motifs.
