This spectacular window is an example of the Rault’s completely original use of dalle de verre. Students at the Ursuline Convent in Bruno were invited to submit drawings for the designs of these windows, on the general theme of learning.
This window includes physics: atoms hurtle at the centre of a star while other stars dance in space. Meanwhile, a mythological Gryphon with wings of an eagle and the tail of a mammal clutches at textbooks and diplomas, expressing Youth’s quest for knowledge of the Universe.
