## Commentary

The stained glass windows in the church Saint-Gervais-Saint-Protais at Gisors represents six scenes from the life of the Virgin. They are executed in grisaille, silver yellow and scarlet against a white ground. These windows exemplify the technical advances and stylistic evolution of the medium of stained glass under the influence of the school of Fontainebleau. This picture represents the Visitation scene.
