Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Eglise Saint-Sulpice de Fougères (detail) 1919

This stained glass panel, "Jesus and the Samaritan woman," is a detail from a larger work by Ludovic Alleaume, created in 1919. The panel depicts a figure holding a large anchor, with the word "Esperance" (French for "Hope") inscribed in a scroll around the figure. This iconic image of Hope, often depicted with an anchor, is likely meant to inspire faith and resilience in viewers. The vibrant colors and detailed rendering are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style popular at the time, lending a sense of beauty and spiritual significance to the artwork.
