Description

The church's interior takes us back to the period of sober Gothic majesty that has remained undisturbed by later additions. The nave and aisles are separated by thick pillars crowned by capitals with plant motifs. The chancel windows, decorated with beautiful sixteenth-century stained-glass windows representing the Visitation, the Adoration of the Magi, the Flight into Egypt and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, project a diffuse light that gives the church a feeling of great spirituality. The big pillar in the middle of the picture is a wink to Jean-Pierre DELMUR

Fantastic! The reflections on the pillars are beautiful. It's a shame that man has lost the real art of stained glass that they used in the 1600's. Maybe someday we'll find the way that they were created. What a beautiful photo! HUGS!!

Elle est superbe celle-l je l'aime beaucoup! J'aime l'angle et le jeu de la lumie qui provient des vitraux. Je viens de l'envoyer mon ami Walle. Il m'enseigne et me coach pour la lumie en Poser et je travaille prentement sur un rendu avec un vitrail derrie mon personnage et je voulais avoir ces reflets color sur son corps. Et chanceuse, j'ai trouvcette photo dans ta galerie :)
