This stained glass window illustrates the biblical episode where Jesus calms the storm. (Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 8, verses 23 to 27).
The stained glass window depicts a biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8, verses 23 to 27, where Jesus calms the storm at sea. Jesus is depicted in the center, standing in a boat. He is haloed, dressed in red and blue. Apostles surround him, expressing fear and agitation, reflected in their gestures and their gazes turned towards him. The background shows a rough sea and dark clouds, accentuating the drama of the event. The stained glass window is structured by rectangular geometric shapes and golden floral elements. Pastel shades and purple predominate, creating a calming contrast to the tension of the central scene. Under the main scene, a cartouche bears the biblical quote: “Lord, save us, we are perishing!” Jesus said to them: Why are you afraid, you of little faith? Then he arose and commanded the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.”The stained glass window depicts a biblical scene from the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8, verses 23 to 27, where Jesus calms the storm at sea.
