Claire Tabouret Unveils Designs for Notre Dame's New Stained Glass Windows

French artist Claire Tabouret has unveiled her designs for new stained-glass windows at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris. The full-scale ink-on-paper maquettes are now on display at the Grand Palais as part of her solo exhibition "In a Single Breath," running through March 15. The exhibition also includes sketches and preparatory works, offering insight into the production process at the Simon-Marq atelier. Tabouret was selected in December 2024 from over 100 artists in a competition hosted by the French Ministry of Culture, tasked with creating contemporary designs based on the Pentecost story. Her windows will replace 19th-century monochrome windows by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Jean-Baptiste Lassus in six bays along the south aisle of the nave.
