8831 Notre Dame Rose Window

A window so powerful that it has been described as supernatural, the Notre Dame Rose Window has brought tears to the eyes of visitors. This multicolored splendor from the North Rose Window of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is called the Alchemists' Rose Window and was created in the 13th century. The window is the supreme example of a rose window built up from a lattice of invisible geometry. This window owes its legacy to the centuries-old tradition of Rose Windows created to pay tribute to Mary, as symbolized by the rose. This particular window depicts the Old Testament, with prophets in the innermost circle, kings and judges in the next circle and high priests and more kings in the outermost circle. They all surround Mary who holds the Christ Child upon her knee. She represents the culmination of history before the birth of our Savior. The alchemists' Rose is recreated in an innovative art form pioneered by Glassmasters. It took hundreds of hours to recreate every image, every detail, every subtle shift in color and tone. From the 32 outermost lights, to the two interlocking 16-pointed stars, to the red and gold halo around the Virgin and Child, the perfect symmetry of the North Rose of Notre Dame Cathedral has been captured with great skill by Glassmasters.

Dimensions - round - 6 1/2" diameter.
