The Church of St. John-de-Malte in Aix-en-Provence was the first Gothic church in Provence, France. Although the church was built in the 13th century, the rose window is from the 19th century (installed in 1896) and the organ is contemporary (installed in 2006).

Funny how taking colour out of the window makes it so interesting. 🙂 🙂

It’s unusual to see a rose window in black and white. It makes me appreciate the design better. I like this! Thank you, Marie 🙂

Thanks. I like it too. The color distracts from the archive rural elements.

Love the Rose Window. It was really interesting to see the contrasts between the colour and B & W shots.

That is one beautiful Rose Window, Marie…and B&W shows the structure admirably, even though such a window is really about the colours of the stained glass!

Thanks, Sue. I can’t decide which I like better, but you are right. the B&W does highlight the structure.
