This stained glass window represents two emblematic figures: John the Baptist and Saint Sebastian.
This stained glass window is composed of two vertical lancets, topped with elements with ornamental motifs characteristic of Gothic art. The two lancets present sacred figures identified by inscriptions located at the base: On the left: "Sanctus Joannes", representing Saint John the Baptist. On the right: "Sanctus Sebastianus", representing Saint Sebastian. Saint John the Baptist, represented in simple clothing, typical of his ascetic life in the desert, holds a cruciform staff, symbol of the future cross of Christ. A lamb rests at his feet, a direct reference to Christ, the Lamb of God ("Ecce Agnus Dei", John 1:29). Saint Sebastian, represented as a Roman soldier, dressed in a red tunic and armor, holds a bow, a traditional attribute recalling his martyrdom by arrows. The serene face contrasts with the usual iconography where he is often represented pierced by arrows.This stained glass window is composed of two vertical lancets, topped with elements with ornamental motifs characteristic of Gothic art.
