Saint-Blaise chapel

La chapelle Saint-Blaise est située dans l’enceinte de l’Ensemble scolaire Lamennais. L’école est dédicacée au père Lamennais, connu pour la création de sa congrégation et de nombreuses écoles au XIXe siècle en Bretagne. Construite dans les années 1930, elle est de plan rectangulaire mais voûtée en arc brisé.

    Une mosaïque monumentale

    Le chœur est couvert d’une mosaïque, œuvre des ateliers Maumejean de Paris. Sur la mosaïque figure la Trinité, couronnant la Vierge et la Cène.

    Une peinture biblique

    A l’opposé du chœur, le mur reçoit une peinture de Maurice Le Scouëzec en 1936 illustrant “le Christ enseignant sur le lac de Tibériade”. La scène replacée dans la baie de Douarnenez avec le Ménez Hom en toile de fond, renvoie à l’identité locale : les pèlerins attentifs portent les habits de marins et les coiffes de Douarnenez.
