The Stained Glass Cycle at Déols

Coronation of the Virgin

Between 1929 and 1932 the Parisian atelier Mauméjean Frères created a vivid sequence of stained-glass windows for the church of Notre-Dame, Déols. The cycle traces key moments in the lives of the Virgin Mary and Christ, from the Nativity and Annunciation through the Visitation and the miracle at Cana, and finally to the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the heavenly Coronation of the Virgin.
