from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Joseph's Window in Quéménéven

The St. Joseph's window in Quéménéven , a French commune in the Finistère department of Brittany , was created around 1500 and modified at the end of the 16th century. The stained glass window in the Notre-Dame chapel in the Kergoat district was added to the list of architectural monuments in France as Monument historique in 1898 .

Window number 11 in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It points to two lancets life of Joseph , the second youngest son of the patriarch Jacob and one of the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel , from the Old Testament . The king in the lower right is from window number 5, which shows the root of Jesse .

In the tracery , the risen Christ is shown surrounded by angels making music.

In addition to the saints window, nine other remarkable windows from the 15th and 16th centuries have been preserved in the chapel (see navigation bar).
