This stained glass window, dated 1909 (“L.H. 1909”), depicts a crowned and haloed royal figure, probably Saint Louis, King of France. The scene centers on an offering before an altar, with a crucial detail: Christ’s crown of thorns, placed on a red cushion. This symbol, at the heart of Saint Louis’ iconography, confirms his role in preserving the relics of the Passion. The king is depicted in a posture of humility, slightly inclined, holding the crown of thorns on the red cushion toward the altar. He wears a blue cloak decorated with golden fleurs-de-lys and a scepter. To the left is a throne with a red seat, to the right the altar covered with a red cloth. The work is richly colored, with a palette dominated by red, blue and gold, framed by a neo-Gothic border decorated with floral motifs and scrolls.This stained glass window, dated 1909 (“L.H. 1909”), depicts a crowned and haloed royal figure, probably Saint Louis, King of France.
