“Virgin of the Stained Glass Window” – by Jacqueline Chatelain
Mixed media on canvas, 73 x 50 cm
In "Vierge au vitrail" (Virgin of the Stained Glass), Jacqueline Chatelain pays homage to sacred art through a stylized and luminous interpretation. The central figure of the Virgin, dressed in blue, symbolizes serenity and protection, while she is surrounded by a beautifully colored stained glass window, where shades of pink, purple and orange blend with precise geometric lines.
The composition evokes an atmosphere of contemplation, reinforced by the majestic arch that frames the scene and by the delicacy of the details, recalling the treasures of craftsmanship found in cathedrals. The basin at the bottom of the work, sober but significant, adds a spiritual dimension, inviting reflection.
This piece, at the crossroads between modernity and tradition, captures the essence of the sacred while infusing a contemporary freshness. "Virgin of the Stained Glass Window" will find its place in spaces where art and spirituality meet.
