This stained glass window is modern. Its composition, geometric, colorful, suggests a sun, a moon, a star, a boat...
This stained glass window is clearly distinguished from the older stained glass windows of the church of Saint-Léger by its modern and abstract style. It presents a colorful geometric composition, dominated by exploded shapes and luminous fragments. We see a radiant sun in the upper part, predominantly yellow and red, a crescent moon on the right, balances the celestial composition. A star on the left perhaps shows the way to a boat with a white sail displaying a red cross. Triangular and oblique shapes possibly evoke mountains or rays of light. The technique of glass slabs set with lead, typical of 20th century creations, is here mastered by the workshops of Georges Gross in Nancy and is dated 1954.This stained glass window is clearly distinguished from the older stained glass windows of the church of Saint-Léger by its modern and abstract style.
