Stained glass window, Nevers Cathedral, Nevers

Stained glass window, 1991-6, designed by artist Francois Rouan, and made by master glassmaker Benoit Marcq, in the Gothic nave of Nevers Cathedral, or Cathedral of Saint Cyricus and Saint Julitta of Nevers, Nevers, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The fractured shapes in this window refer to the Allied bombing of the cathedral in 1944 during the Second World War. 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
