Les Vitraux de Haute-Normandie

a detailed inventory of stained glass windows in the Haute-Normandie region of France, covering works from the 13th to the 20th century. Authored by Martine Callias Bey, Véronique Chaussé, Françoise Gatouillat, and Michel Hérold, this 495-page volume is part of the Corpus Vitrearum series, which aims to catalog and analyze pre-Revolutionary French stained glass, with additional coverage of significant 19th- and 20th-century examples.

The book surveys Haute-Normandie’s unparalleled stained glass heritage, spanning prestigious cathedrals like Rouen and Évreux, as well as rural churches with lesser-known windows.

The text highlights the region’s Gothic golden age (13th–15th centuries), the Renaissance shift to decorative motifs, and the 19th-century Neo-Gothic revival, influenced by figures like Viollet-le-Duc. Post-World War II reconstructions, such as Yvetot’s Saint-Pierre with its 1,046 m² Max Ingrand vitrail, exemplify modern contributions. Richly illustrated with color plates, it serves as both a scholarly resource and a guide for art historians and visitors.
