This stained glass window deals with the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes.
This stained-glass window depicts the Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes. It has a semicircular shape and is arranged around a central oval medallion, set in an ornamental frame with Baroque motifs, including scrollwork, acanthus, and gilding. In the center of the medallion, against the backdrop of a rocky grotto, the Virgin Mary appears in a mandorla of light, standing with clasped hands, dressed in white, with a sash and veil. She is surrounded by a radiant glow. Facing her, kneeling, Bernadette Soubirous, dressed in colorful peasant clothing, headscarf, skirt, and apron, holds a lit candle. The surrounding decor faithfully reproduces the site of the Massabielle Grotto, on the banks of the Gave de Pau. The background of the rest of the stained glass window is composed of white grisaille with geometric and stylized plant motifs, enhanced by a frame of flowers in various colors (blue, red, green, ivory) and green leaves.This stained-glass window depicts the Apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint Bernadette Soubirous in Lourdes.
