Stained glass was widely used in secular context during the Renaissance in France, providing another way of introducing colour into interior decoration. Such windows long featured roundels in their centres - circular, oval, and even square compartments intended to maximize the light.
This window is one of a series from the gallery at Écouen that combines ciphers, devices, and emblems of Anne de Montmorency with strapwork, triumphal caps, and grotesques.
