Stained Glass Window Window of the abside of the Rosary Chapel 1949

Henri Matisse's "Stained Glass Window" from 1949 is a vibrant work of art that embodies the artist's signature style. The piece, designed for the Rosary Chapel, features bold, flat shapes and a limited color palette of yellow, red, green, blue, and black. The repeated motif of stylized leaves, cut out and pasted onto a background, creates a rhythmic and visually engaging pattern. The design is reminiscent of traditional stained glass windows, with the distinct shapes and colors evoking a sense of light and spirituality. Matisse's "Stained Glass Window" is a prime example of his mastery of color and form, and continues to inspire viewers with its bold beauty and powerful simplicity.
