The stained glass window shows a scene of martyrdom, probably that of Saint Vincent.
This stained-glass window with two Gothic lancets surmounted by a quatrefoil oculus depicts a scene of martyrdom during the Roman Empire. In the center of the right lancet stands a young man, wearing a halo and dressed in a white tunic. This is most likely Saint Vincent, deacon and martyr, patron saint of this church. Beside him, a Roman soldier is undressing him to prepare him for execution. In the lower foreground, kneeling executioners stoke the fire beneath the torture grid. In the left lancet, a Roman judge, dressed in red, decree in hand, designates Vincent for execution. In the background, Greco-Roman architecture consisting of columns, a temple, and a statue sets the imperial scene. At the top, in the oculus, an angel with outstretched wings and dressed in orange holds a crown of roses.This stained-glass window with two Gothic lancets surmounted by a quatrefoil oculus depicts a scene of martyrdom during the Roman Empire.
