EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning stained glass window depicting St George, dating back to the first half of the 13th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this artwork are truly mesmerizing. Originally located in Chartres Cathedral, this masterpiece has been preserved and captured beautifully through a color lithograph by the French School in the 19th century. The image was later featured in Louis Gonse's book L'Art Gothique, published around 1890. St George, known as both a soldier and saint, is depicted here with his iconic halo and holding a sword. This representation symbolizes his martyrdom and devotion to Christianity during the Middle Ages. The Gothic style of this stained glass window adds an ethereal touch to its religious significance. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece exemplifies the decorative arts movement prevalent during that era. It serves as a testament to France's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to religious art. This print captures not only the beauty of stained glass but also offers us insight into medieval Christian values and beliefs. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable work of art that continues to inspire awe even today.
