Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Eglise Saint-Sulpice de Fougères (1er registre. Résurrection de la fille de Jaïre) 1919

Ludovic Alleaume made this stained glass piece, "Jesus and the Samaritan woman" for the Eglise Saint-Sulpice de Fougères. The colors are so muted, like they've been kissed by time, and that makes the whole thing feel gentle, almost like a memory. Looking at the glass, you can almost feel the weight of it. It’s not just about seeing; it’s about sensing the history in each pane. See the way Jesus’s robe flows? It’s almost like Alleaume wasn’t just painting but letting the glass itself lead the way, you can also see the way his skin almost glows against the flat white of his robes, it brings him to life. I'm reminded of the Pre-Raphaelites, they had the same commitment to storytelling, and to the process. In the end, though, it's not about answers, it's about keeping the conversation going. Art doesn't have to be clear; it just has to be real, right?
