This stained glass window depicts the Annunciation.
This stained-glass window organizes the verticality of the sacred space through a composition that is both decorative and narrative. In the center, within a mandorla, two figures face each other: the angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. Gabriel, dressed in a purple tunic and a green cloak, holds a branch of lilies in his left hand, while his right hand points to the Holy Spirit in the guise of a dove, messenger of the divine Word. Mary, kneeling, receives the announcement in an attitude of humility and reverence. Behind them, a Gothic architecture rises with two towers that may evoke the heavenly Jerusalem. All around, the decoration explodes with color, acanthus leaves, vegetal scrolls, geometric motifs, and stylized flowers. The stained-glass windows are adorned with deep reds, royal blues, and luminous greens, enhanced with touches of gold and white.This stained-glass window organizes the verticality of the sacred space through a composition that is both decorative and narrative.
