This stained glass window depicts the martyrdom of Saint Sebastian.
This vertical stained glass window, set within a semicircular arch bay, features a composition focused on a single scene, framed by a floral grisaille design. At the heart of the composition is an oval medallion, adorned with acanthus leaves, scrolls, and colorful floral motifs. At its center stands a young haloed man, half-naked, draped in a red mantle trimmed with gold, tied to a tree. An arrow lodged in his side reveals the nature of the torment he is enduring. These visual clues clearly identify him as Saint Sebastian, a Roman martyr of the 3rd century. In the background, a dense forest and a hilly landscape suggest a secluded setting.This vertical stained glass window, set within a semicircular arch bay, features a composition focused on a single scene, framed by a floral grisaille design.
