Arthus Bertrand celebrates the light and timeless beauty of the stained glass windows of Notre-Dame de Paris with an exceptional form of savoir-faire called plique-à-jour.
This rare technique, often compared to a miniature form of stained glass, plays on transparency and the use of colour to create the luminous, ethereal effect of the cathedral’s famous rose windows. Thus each medallion becomes a work of art that captures the spirit of Notre-Dame in a halo of light and exquisite daintiness. The flawless craftsmanship of the plique-à-jour technique brings these vibrant designs to life. Light filters through the enamel and is chiselled by the metal, like the sun passing through stained glass, making each piece a window that reveals a world of wonder.
