This stained glass window from the Saint-Élophe church depicts a central scene illustrating Saint Augustine and his mother, Saint Monica, sitting side by side in a posture of meditation or prayer. Both figures have golden halos. Saint Augustine is dressed in a blue drape while Saint Monica wears a white garment, emphasizing the idea of purity and wisdom. The background features a stone wall, a calming blue sky, and a calm blue sea. The geometric frame surrounding the scene is decorated with floral and geometric motifs characteristic of the neo-Gothic aesthetic. At the bottom of the window, an inscription reads: “Donated by the commune of Remois,” emphasizing the community’s role in the creation of this work. Charles-François Champigneulle, glassmaker, signed this stained glass window.This stained glass window from the Saint-Élophe church depicts a central scene illustrating Saint Augustine and his mother, Saint Monica, sitting side by side in a posture of meditation or prayer.
