Reims : vitraux de Chagall

Much of the stained glass in the cathedral at Reims dates back only to the years between 1930 and the present. That's because about half of the older windows in the cathedral were destroyed during World War I, when the building's wooden roof structure was destroyed by fire (as was the roof at Notre-Dame de Paris in 2019). The roof at Reims had already burned once before, in the 15th century. After WWI, a concrete roof structure replaced the wooden beams that had burned.

The Russian-born artist Marc Chagall created a series of windows for the cathédrale de Reims
in the 1960s and 1970s. Four of them are in my photos above. The second and third images
are closer views of sections of the triptych above.
