“Queen of the Rosary” Faceted Glass Window, Mary, Mother of Priests Chapel

Description

A full vertical photograph of a narrow "dalle de verre" (faceted glass) window. This panel is part of the thematic series within the chapel nave, celebrating various titles of the Virgin Mary through vibrant color and specialized glasswork.

The image features:

* Marian Symbolism: The window depicts a vertical floral motif, featuring a green leafy stem that blooms into a large, golden-orange flower (likely a rose). Above the flower, a stylized set of rosary beads cascades downward from a radiant red and gold crown at the top of the panel.

* Inscribed Text: The bottom section contains the glass-inlaid title: "QUEEN OF THE ROSARY." The lettering is integrated into the window’s structural matrix using white and yellow glass slabs.

* Dalle de Verre Technique: The window is constructed from thick, hand-faceted glass slabs set in a dark epoxy or concrete matrix. The chipped, jewel-like edges of the glass are designed to catch and refract light, creating a shimmering effect that changes with the sun's position.

* Color Palette: The design is dominated by brilliant shades of blue, emerald green, and golden yellow, with the red crown at the top providing a vibrant focal point. The slender, vertical form is a signature architectural element of the chapel’s Mid-Century Modern design.
