Six Blue Jewels and Dove (detail)

Andre Rault, Rennes, France

1963

The use of conventional lead cames (channels) for heavy dalle de verre seems to be unique to the Raults. Most studios used various cement mixtures to support the extra weight; but this smothers the gorgeous light refraction of the exposed edges.

It is possible that the students and teachers had some role in designing the symbolism of the Bruno Convent windows.
