Saint-Barthélemy Church

This neo-Gothic stained glass window probably represents Saint Joseph on the left and Saint Anne on the right.

This Neo-Gothic stained-glass window is composed of two slender lancets. It features, in its upper half, two full-length biblical figures. The rest of the window is decorated with geometric and foliate panels. The two main figures are located in architectural niches, typical of the Neo-Gothic style. On the left, the bearded man with a halo, dressed in a yellow tunic and a purple-red cloak, holds a staff adorned with lilies. On the ground at his feet, an axe can be seen; this is the tool of Saint Joseph, the carpenter. On the right, the woman with a halo, also full-length, dressed in a red cloak and a purple dress, holds an open book. This iconography is typical of Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary. The upper figure in the medallion appears to be an angel.
