Pope Gregory the Great, shown penning a scroll of chant has given his name to what is the foundation of Western music. This lovely window is in the cloister of the Good Shepherd in Rosemont, PA. Again, the draughtsmanship is superb, though the intense colors are more limited in palate than his others in the church, perhaps this is because of the small scale of the window. I could have done without the charming choir boys, but as this is the entrance which the choir uses and until recently there were real choir boys there, they have some relevance.
This being an Anglo-Catholic parish, there was little to restrain d’Ogries from including the papal tiara in the foreground. Note how the dove of the Holy Ghost inspires his writing, perching gently on the papal cross.
