The church of Notre-Dame (église Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption), dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, is a Roman Catholic church situated in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne in France (North of Burgundy). It depends from the Archdiocese of Sens-Auxerre. Its first stone was blessed by Pope Alexander III in 1163〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 21〕 at the same time of Notre Dame de Paris. The great Renaissance porch was built in 1575 from sketchings of Jean Chéreau,〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 22〕 born in Joigny. The Church was registered in 1862 into Monuments historiques. It is a remarkable example of a Gothic church from the School of Champagne, or Île de France. Some of the stained glass windows are from the 13th century (north side)〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 25〕 and others from the 16th century (''The Life of the Virgin'', south side, 1st chapel). You can notice one of the first examples in a stained glass of a figure with spectacles. This window depicting the Last Judgement is due to Jean Cousin the Younger. The statue of the ''Virgin with a Bird'' (14th century)〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 25〕 is from a royal manufacturer (right side). A ''Madonna with the Child'' is a polychromatic statue from the 16th century (left side). Other interesting elements are paintings such as ''The Adoration of the Shepherds'' (around 1780) from François-Guillaume Ménageot,〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 29〕 an Immaculate Conception and a portrait of ''saint Louis worshipping the Crown of thorns''.〔Jean-Luc Dauphin, ''op. cit'', p. 28〕 The organ (18th century) was restored in 1992. == Gallery == image:Adoration Bergers Ménageot.JPG|''The Adoration of the Shepherds'' (from Ménageot) image:Orgue de tribune de Villeneuve-sur-Yonne (Yonne) France.JPG|Organ (18th century) image:Notre Dame des Vertus.JPG|The ''Virgin with the Bird'' (14th century) image:Autel Villeneuve.JPG|Main altar (18th century) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of Notre-Dame, Villeneuve-sur-Yonne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
