This set of four stained-glass windows depicts the life of Saint Genevieve.
Saint Genevieve is a Gallo-Roman saint, born around 420. She is the patron saint of the diocese of Nanterre, as well as of the city of Paris and the gendarmes.
The first stained-glass window depicts Saint Germain presenting the medal to Saint Genevieve, a symbol of her devotion to the Lord.
The second depicts the Saint restoring sight to her mother. She holds a skin in one hand, and with the other, she pours water over the eyes of her mother spinning wool. Behind them is the well from which the water flows.
In the third stained-glass window, Saint Genevieve, brandishing a crucifix, stops Attila in front of Paris and reassures the population.
In the last, she implores Clovis to release prisoners.
The four stained-glass windows are composed in the same manner, with a painted scene in the center surmounted by a cross. Below, an angel supports a text cartouche. A white and gold decoration on a blue font with a red border borders the whole.
Colorless and colored glass painted with enamels, silver yellow, and grisaille. Lead-bonded.
Recently restored. New brass frame.
