loic brohard 0 Posted November 4, 2007 This is precisely at La Couvertoirade, and the glasses are from Saint-Christol church. You are probably right about the glasses ! I guess at least the village is medieval, built at the 12th century by the Knights of the Order of the Temple, and in a strengthened enclosure built with the 15e century by the Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem Link to comment

loic brohard 0 Posted November 7, 2007 You are right. I have found the other glass (that I did post on the same folder of my portfolio) and here you can see by zooming that the glass is from 2005. So brand new... but interesting though. Link to comment
aginbyte 0 Posted November 8, 2007 ... the new glass in the very old church, I thought. Often I am very disappointed when I see modern glass in these churches, but it may be that the image here is so clearly formed by the different panes of glass instead of painting on glass, like the upper half of these windows. But this time it seems to work, perhaps because of teh naive quality of the figures. Link to comment
