Depending on the hour of day and the season, the effect is of luminous transparency or matt opalescence, and the reflections of the day inundate the choir with an almost unreal whiteness. With its sumptuous profusion of lilies, it provides an atmosphere of purity and stillness conducive to prayer and reflection. This powerful piece reveals Lalique\u2019s genius: his total mastery of light and glass.<\/p>\n
