Summary
A rare medieval stained glass window, the 'verrière des Annonces' or 'Incarnation Window,' was discovered in Sainte-Croix de Provins. This 13th-century artwork, previously overlooked, depicts scenes from the life of Christ and provides significant insights into the artistic and religious practices of medieval Provins. The study employs detailed iconographic analysis to highlight its historical importance, linking it to the town's role as a center for medieval fairs and pilgrimage routes. Through archival research and stylistic comparison, the window is contextualized within the broader tradition of Gothic stained glass in France.
