Saint-Martin de Goncourt Church

This stained glass window depicts a Marian scene.

This stained glass window depicts a Marian scene. On the left, the Virgin Mary, depicted in the Immaculate Conception, is dressed in green and blue. She stands with her hands clasped on her cloud and crescent moon. The serpent beneath her feet evokes the biblical passage from Genesis (3:15) where Mary, as the new Eve, crushes the serpent's head, symbolizing victory over sin. On the right, a saint (probably Saint Anne) is depicted in an attitude of meditation and gentleness, a woman kneels at her feet in a posture of adoration. The intense red background highlights the figures, while the floral and ornamental decoration enriches the composition. At the top, we notice an architectural motif with a cross and stylized plant elements. The borders are richly decorated with floral motifs and bright colors, framing the central scene.
