Church of St. Mary Magdalene

This stained glass window is purely ornamental.

This stained-glass window consists of two main lancets topped by two lateral spandrels and a central bellows. It does not depict a narrative scene but is fully in keeping with 19th-century liturgical decorative art. Each lancet is adorned with three large circular medallions set in a grisaille decoration. The medallions are arranged around a blue center, encircled by stylized yellow petals. Around these floral centers, a network of black scrolls, pearl dots, and stylized leaves forms a kind of vegetal interlacing. The background of the window is made of grisaille. The turquoise blue glass borders frame the composition and bring a luminous freshness to the whole.
