In this stained-glass window, Saint Michael, Saint Catherine of Alexandria, and Saint Margaret of Antioch appear to Joan of Arc.
This narrative stained-glass window occupies a semicircular arched bay, borrowing refined ornamentation from Neo-Renaissance art, such as twisted columns, gilded scrollwork, and stylized fleur-de-lis in the border. The central scene depicts a celestial apparition; it is the moment when Joan of Arc receives the divine call. This young peasant woman is kneeling in a meadow near Domrémy. Joan of Arc, in the foreground, is depicted as a teenager with long brown hair, wearing a simple shepherdess's clothes: a blue dress and a red shirt. Opposite her, an armored angel with pink wings speaks to her. This figure is Saint Michael, the first to appear to her, according to her testimony. Behind him, in the clouds, are two other female figures. They are most likely Saint Catherine of Alexandria and Saint Margaret of Antioch, often associated with her visions. In the background, a Lorraine village with a church reinforces the scene's local roots. Around Joan, sheep recall her life as a herdsman.This narrative stained-glass window occupies a semicircular arched bay, borrowing refined ornamentation from Neo-Renaissance art, such as twisted columns, gilded scrollwork, and stylized fleur-de-lis in the border.
