Baptism of Jesus
Blessed Virgin Appearing to St. Simon StockStudio: Each nave window has the signature of The Flanagan & Biedenweg Co of Chicago, Il.
Style: All the windows are in the pictorial Renaissance style of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. They are heavily painted in enamel on glass and are rich in color with monumental figures.
Double lancet window, each housed in in an architectural canopy. The canopies in the space above the figures are a device first introduced in the fourteenth century when Gothic cathedrals began to soar and windows became taller and narrower. The canopies are united above by a trefoil.The windows are three-dimensional, an effect aided by the landscape in the background.
