Notre-Dame Church

This stained glass window represents Saint Joseph and the Virgin and Child.

The stained glass window consists of two vertical lancets topped by a central quatrefoil decorated with a celestial scene. The whole is framed by architectural elements, such as arcades, decorated columns and draperies that bring a solemn grandeur. The two lancets present: On the left: a bearded man holding a white fleur-de-lis, dressed in a green tunic and an ochre cloak is undoubtedly Saint Joseph. On the right: a crowned female figure, carrying a child in her arms. She is dressed in a rich blue dress decorated with gilding, and the child is dressed in green. It is a Virgin and Child. The quatrefoil at the top illustrates a celestial scene with several angels musicians and worshipers, arranged symmetrically around a central figure. divine figures by their songs and their praises. This stained glass window, with its slender shapes and decorative richness, belongs to the neo-Gothic, a 19th-century movement that revived medieval Gothic art. The columns, draperies and arcades in the background give an architectural dimension to the whole, recalling elements present in Gothic churches.
