Church of Our Lady of the Assumption of Landaville

This stained glass window highlights three figures: Saint-Pierre-Fourier, Saint-Nicolas and possibly Saint-François-de-Sales.

This stained glass window is composed of three distinct registers, highlighting three figures of Catholicism: In the lower medallion, Saint-Pierre-Fourier (1565-1640), recognizable by his black habit and his blessing attitude. In the central part, Saint-Nicolas, bishop of Myra, is represented performing his miracle, the resurrection of the three children. In the upper medallion, a holy bishop dressed in purple, wearing a cross around his neck, who could be identified as Saint-François-de-Sales, known for his gentleness and his role in the Catholic reform. The stained glass window is framed by an architectural decoration of Gothic inspiration, with columns and repetitive geometric patterns. The chromatic palette is dominated by red, blue and gold tones.
