Stained glass window, Nevers Cathedral, Nevers

Stained glass window designed by artist Jean Michel Alberola, b. 1953, and made by master glassmaker Dominique Duchemin, in the Romanesque South transept in Nevers Cathedral, or Cathedral of Saint Cyricus and Saint Julitta of Nevers, Nevers, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The window depicts an unrolled parchment, the book of the Apocalypse, with the terrestrial globe halo - this revelation concerns the whole universe and all the saved (pictured below). The hole of the meridian lets through the sun's rays, at the exact moment of the solar noon. The project to commission contemporary stained glass windows in the cathedral was begun 1987-88 under Dominique Bozo, and they were inaugurated on 29th April 2011. The building is listed as a national monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
