Holy Window with Johannes (Josselin)

Holy window with Johannes in Josselin

The window of saints with John in the Catholic parish church of Notre-Dame-du-Roncier in Josselin , a French commune in the Morbihan department in the Brittany region , was created around 1460. The stained glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique in 1912 .

The window on the south side of the nave was made by an unknown workshop. It shows saints , a widespread pictorial motif in Christian art of the Middle Ages and early modern times. On the top row from the 15th century are depicted: Madonna and Child, John the Baptist , St. Lawrence and St. Stephen . On the lower row from the 19th century can be seen: Dominic , Francis of Assisi , Teresa of Ávila and Johannes Eudes .

The window was restored in the second half of the 19th century and supplemented by Ferdinand Hucher in the glass painting workshop of the Carmelites of Le Mans .

In addition to the saint's window with John , two other windows from the Renaissance period have been preserved in the church (see navigation bar).
