Notre-Dame to Feature Modern Stained Glass Designs

Following its 2019 fire, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris will replace six original stained-glass windows with modern designs by French artist Claire Tabouret. Tabouret's vibrant design, selected from over 100 submissions, depicts diverse people praying together for Pentecost in blues, pinks, and yellows. The decision is controversial; some argue it violates international heritage guidelines, while Tabouret aims to promote unity through art. The new windows will be crafted by the historic glassmaker Simon-Marq, known for its restoration work at Notre-Dame and collaborations with renowned artists like Chagall and Miró.
