Church of Blevaincourt

This vertical, semicircular stained-glass window, with its IHS monograms, evokes the presence of Christ without figurative representation.

This vertical, semicircular stained-glass window is organized around eight circular medallions aligned vertically, divided into four bays. Each of these circles contains the letters IHS, inscribed in white within a red cartouche outlined in gold and outlined in blue. The whole is based on a strict geometric composition, in a regular grid. The backgrounds are treated in grisaille, decorated with delicate plant scrolls, stylized floral motifs, and leafy wreaths. The frame alternates against a deep blue background with carmine red, orange, and pink. At the bottom of the window, the inscription "Dauvoin 1896" confirms the neo-Gothic style.
