Title : The Masters of Light - Jacques Anquetil - book

Summary :

Rouen, 1850. Young Jacques Angot, initiated by his father into the art of stained glass and its symbolic language, became a master glassmaker. An avant-garde spirit, he began creating stained-glass windows whose only colored vibrations were an opening onto divine light. His father, the beautiful Béatrice, his friend Flaubert and then Claude Monet supported Jacques in this quest for the impossible: capturing fleeting light.

When his designs for the stained-glass windows of Mont-Saint-Michel are rejected as too modern, everything falls apart. And the successive deaths of his loved ones plunge him into great distress, which distances him from God. But when a Benedictine priest entrusts him with the creation of the stained-glass windows of a Romanesque abbey located near Rouen, the master can finally realize his dream and rediscover his faith... With sensitivity and passion, Jacques Anquetil takes us into the fascinating and little-known world of glass artisans who, for centuries, have combined art, poetry, and homage to the divine.
