Aesthetic Enhancement | "The Medieval Stained Glass Windows of the Parisian Cathedral"

✨This sacred stained glass window now sits in the Sainte-Chapelle, referred to as the 'Jewel of French Gothic period', built by Louis IX in the 13th century. Originally constructed to house precious relics, it later became famous for its 15 huge stained glass windows🪟. ✨These 15 windows can be considered masterpieces of architectural art, depicting not only 1113 biblical stories, narrating both the Old and New Testaments, but also illustrating how Louis IX brought the Holy Crown of Thorns👑 of Jesus back from the East to Europe. ✨The interplay of light and color on the windows further accentuates the sanctity and tranquility of the church, with the vivid stained glass patterns giving an illusion of being present in the realm of heaven, as if the holy songs of angels are floating in one's ears🕊️.
