This stained glass window shows Saint Michael on the left and Joan of Arc on the right.
This stained-glass window with two vertical lancets is part of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, very popular at the end of the 19th century. It depicts two combatant figures from the Christian and French traditions. On the left, the Archangel Michael is defeating the dragon, and on the right, Joan of Arc is standing, holding her standard. Beneath each lancet is a message: on the left, "Qui ut Deus" (Who will God) and on the right, "Vive labeur" (Long live labor). The two lancets are topped with heraldic motifs (notably a cross surrounded by fleurs-de-lis on a blue background) and stylized Gothic architecture with rich vegetal and gilded motifs.This stained-glass window with two vertical lancets is part of the flamboyant neo-Gothic style, very popular at the end of the 19th century.
