EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures "The Annunciation" stained glass window from the Chapel of Jacques Coeur in Saint-Etienne Cathedral, Bourges, France. Created by the French School in the 15th century, this masterpiece showcases a momentous biblical scene. In the image, we see a beautifully detailed depiction of the Annunciation. From left to right, Saint James stands with his staff while Archangel Gabriel appears before him. The focal point is on Virgin Mary as she receives Gabriel's divine message. Her serene expression and graceful posture convey her acceptance and humility. Surrounding Mary are two female figures: Saint Catherine and another unidentified woman. Their presence adds depth to the composition and symbolizes different aspects of faith and devotion. The craftsmanship of this stained glass window is truly remarkable. The vibrant colors shine through as sunlight filters into the chapel, illuminating every intricate detail. The vaulted ceiling above enhances its grandeur while angelic figures hover above Mary's head. It has been suggested that Henri Mellein, a renowned peintre verrier (glass painter), was responsible for creating this breathtaking work of art. "The Annunciation" stained glass window represents not only religious significance but also serves as an artistic testament to medieval craftsmanship in France. This photograph allows us to appreciate its beauty even beyond its original context within the Chapel of Jacques Coeur at Saint-Etienne Cathedral
