EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Annunciation" stained glass window, found in the Chapel of Jacques Coeur within the Cathedral of St. Etienne in Bourges, France. Created by an anonymous French artist during the 15th century, this masterpiece is believed to have been crafted by the talented peintre verrier, Henri Mellein. The image depicts a momentous scene from Christian tradition - the angel Gabriel's visitation to the Virgin Mary to announce her divine pregnancy with Jesus Christ. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this stained glass panel are truly mesmerizing. As we gaze upon this artwork, our eyes are drawn to the majestic vaulted ceiling above and a coat of arms adorning one side. Angelic figures surround Mary and Gabriel as they communicate through gestures and expressions filled with awe and reverence. Symbolism abounds throughout this piece; lilies (lys) representing purity adorn both Mary's robe and Gabriel's staff while fleur de lys motifs pay homage to France. The Madonna herself radiates grace and serenity as she receives this celestial message. Thanks to Peter Willi's skillful photography, we can now appreciate every nuance of color, light, and texture present in this historic work of art. This print serves as a testament not only to its artistic beauty but also its cultural significance within French history.
