It resides in the Fribourg Cathedral in Switzerland and showcases the four apostles, each depicted individually in a colorful and detailed manner. The window exemplifies the Art Nouveau style with its use of intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and flowing lines, demonstrating Mehoffer’s mastery of the medium.
