Which cathedral contains the Reims windows created by Marc Chagall in 1974?

Reims Cathedral contains the stained-glass windows created by Marc Chagall in 1974.

Chagall’s windows are installed in the cathedral’s axial chapel, behind the high altar. Their rich blues, reds, and yellows add a modern intervention to a building whose principal Gothic construction dates from the thirteenth century.

The windows were made during a period when historic churches in France increasingly commissioned modern artists. This approach allowed new stained glass to stand beside surviving medieval glazing without pretending to be medieval itself.

Reims Cathedral is also famous for its role in French history: French kings were traditionally crowned there. Chagall’s windows should not be confused with the cathedral’s older glass or with later windows by other contemporary artists.
