| This
image of Jesus blessing Skokie and St. Lambert church is featured in
one
of the stained glass windows by the artist Gabriel Loire of Chartres.
Loire
(1904 – Dec 25, 1996) was
a Frenchstained
glass artist of the twentieth century whose extensive works,
portraying
various persons or historical scenes, appear in many venues around the
world. He founded the Loire Studio in Chartres,
France which continues to produce stained glass
windows.
Loire
was a leader in the modern use of
"slab glass" (French: dalle de verre), which is
much thicker and
stronger than the stained glass technique of the Middle
Ages. The figures in his windows are mostly Impressionistic
in style.
