Description:
|
|
Metz Cathedral (Cathédrale Saint Étienne de Metz) has one of the highest naves in the world (Rayonnant Gothic style, built between 1220 and 1550), displaying the largest expanse of stained glass in the world with 6,496 m2 (69,920 sq ft). The glass ranges from Gothic period to modern. The three Chagall windows (fabricated by Charles Marq's studio in Reims) are installed next to the north transept (north choir aisle). The blue-toned window has subjects from Genesis: left to right; Abraham's Sacrifice, Jacob wrestling the Angel, Jacob's Dream and Moses with the Burning Bush. The yellow-toned west window of the transept also features Genesis: left to right; Creation of Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, The Temptation and the Expulsion from Paradise. The third window with purple tones features Genesis and Exodus: Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, the Crossing of the Red Sea with King David (playing harp) and the Prophet Jeremiah.
