It is also an opportunity to pay tribute to this art-form first introduced to Lourdes in 1969 *. After admiring the exhibition, you can go to the underground basilica where you can see these \u2018gemmaux\u2019 gently lit, as well as those featuring The Mysteries of the Rosary by Robert Falcucci (1987) and the Way of the Cross of Christ by Denys de Sol\u00e8re (1981).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adf87de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adf87de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>* The term gemmail is a contraction of &#8220;gem&#8221; (a precious stone or coloured glass) and &#8220;enamel&#8221; (which fixes the fragments of glass). Unlike stained glass, gemmail is an overlaying of fragments of coloured glass which let in light. This technique was first introduced by Jean Crotti after the Second World War and developed by Roger Malherbe-Navarre. The gammail is characterised by being backlit, a feature which is used to help illuminate the underground basilica of Saint Pius X.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49c74c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"49c74c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lourdes_sanctuaires\/albums\/72157690849487903\" title=\"Exposition Bernadette galerie Sainte-Veronique\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7827\/46668901935_8a8a986979_c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"534\" alt=\"Exposition Bernadette galerie Sainte-Veronique\"><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernadette&#8217;s photographs were taken at the dawn of photography in Lourdes and Nevers.
