VISUAL DESCRIPTION
A stunning example of Gothic flamboyant style is captured here through this rose window's complex geometry and delicate filigree stonework. Its circular form is divided into numerous gossamer-like segments that radiate from the center like petals on a flower or rays from the sun—hence its name "rose." Each segment houses intricately patterned traceries which create mesmerizing shapes that play with light and shadow—a testament to both spiritual symbolism and engineering prowess prevalent during this era in ecclesiastical architecture.
