Stained glass window Saint Louis nineteenth
(236 x 68 cm)

Stained glass window representing Saint Louis painted with enamels, grisaille and silver yellow on smooth glass.
Signed Marchand et Cie, Paris.

In the center of the stained glass window, a portrait of Saint Louis crowned and wearing a fleur-de-lis coat. He is also recognizable by the royal attributes he holds in his hands: the crown of thorns and the scepter.

A decorative frieze of fleur-de-lys in diamond shapes runs all around the edge of the panel.

Between plant motifs, the background is squared by fine lines of grisaille, this is the so-called fly cage technique, widely used in the 19th century in neogothic churches.
