Restauration Mosaïques |
Mignières Church
France
Mignières church Saint Gervais & Saint Protais is on the Path of Compostela.
On its facade, a modern mosaic represents an angel announcing the Resurrection of Christ to the three Mary.
With the time, Briare enamels composing the piece of art have fallen apart, leaving only their imprints on the support.
Thanks to those traces and with archives, we were abble to reconstruct the pattern.
