Vitrail-NotreDameNord
Hand-crafted in the beautiful harbour village of St Aubin in the island of Jersey, this piece is a special commission.
Vitrail-NotreDameNord is inspired by the North Rose window in the Notre Dame de Paris that was created in ~1250.
This piece is hand crafted and mounted in a pewter finish wooden frame that measures 25.5 x 25.5cm.
Notre-Dame de Paris, meaning "Our Lady of Paris", is a medieval Catholic cathedral on the Île de la Cité in the 4th arrondissement of Paris. The cathedral was consecrated to the Virgin Mary and is considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture.
The cathedral's construction was begun in 1160 under Bishop Maurice de Sully and was largely complete by 1260.
While undergoing renovation and restoration, the roof of Notre-Dame caught fire on the evening of 15 April 2019. Burning for around 15 hours, the cathedral sustained serious damage, including the destruction of the flèche (the timber spire over the crossing) and most of the lead-covered wooden roof above the stone vaulted ceiling. Following the fire, many proposals were made for modernizing the cathedral's design. However, on 16 July 2019, the French Parliament passed a law requiring that it be rebuilt exactly as it appeared before the fire.
Stabilising the structure against possible collapse is expected to continue until the end of 2020, with reconstruction beginning in 2021. The government hopes the reconstruction can be completed by Spring 2024, in time for the opening of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
