Vitraux de la cathédrale de Rouen, Medieval stained glass windows in Notre-Dame Cathedral, Rouen, France.
The cathedral windows span 1,150 square meters and showcase different glass crafting techniques from the 13th through the 20th centuries.
The original 13th-century windows survived until World War II, when many sections were destroyed during bombardments of the city.
The windows depict biblical narratives and saints' lives through intricate colored glass panels that served as educational tools for medieval churchgoers.
Visitors can explore the cathedral's stained glass collection daily, with optimal viewing during morning hours when sunlight illuminates the eastern windows.
The Guillaume Barbe workshop created numerous panels in the 15th century, including scenes of local saints and Norman religious figures.
