New frame in blackened wood. Dimensions per window: H221cm L50cm Winner of the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux, student of Joseph Villiet. His parents being owners in Bayonne, he created his first workshop there. To make his stained glass windows, Dagrant probably made his cartoons himself, drawing inspiration from the themes made fashionable in 1860 by the engravings of Joham Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) or Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld (1794-1872). From 1864, he sometimes signed Dagrand with a D and called himself Gustave Pierre. This will be formalized during a judgment of July 19, 1889. Dagrant installs his second workshop in Bordeaux around 1873-1874, cours Saint Jean. He participated in many exhibitions and received several medals rewarding him (1860, 1866, 1869, 1873). He receives the Vatican Medal for his work in Italy and Rome. Pope Pius IX awarded him the Knight's Cross of the Order of Saint Sylvester. He is a member of the Society of Friends of the Arts of Bordeaux. In 1915, he became a member of the municipal council of Bordeaux where he was in charge of fine arts. At the end of the 19th century, his workshop hired about fifty workers, we find his production in more than 3000 buildings in France and abroad.
