Adam and Eve getting their marching orders: This window is in the church of Saint-Pierre, in Bordeaux. The church was built in the 14th and 15th centuries and is one of those on the Way of St. James in France, on the route to Santiago de Compostela.

I just wonder if there's any evidence anywhere of women making these stained-glass windows. I read somewhere that there was a theory put out that the Lascaux cave drawings had been done by women... Of course, not all stained-glass would have been made by women, but just wonder if there were any female artists of this type. I love stained-glass.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stained glass window
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIn Bordeaux but on the way to northwest Spain (?). Oh.
ReplyDeleteI think I’ll watch the Estevez/Sheen The Way before long.
The stained glass windows are indeed beautiful. I like all kinds of stained glass, or in this case, how it got that way.
