Saint-Michel Church

The stained glass window offers us a representation of Saint Isidore the Ploughman.

This curved stained-glass window depicts a man praying, standing with clasped hands, surrounded by a few elements of his daily environment. He is designated in the lower cartouche by the inscription "SAINT ISIDORE." He is dressed in a light-colored tunic and a green coat lined with brown. He carries a purse slung over his shoulder and leather boots, a sign of his status as a farmer. A stylized plow can be seen at his feet, and in the background, what appears to be a plowshare and a rural landscape. His face, framed by light-colored hair and a well-trimmed beard, is surrounded by a golden halo, a mark of holiness. He stands within a trompe-l'oeil architecture, with two Corinthian columns supporting a richly decorated entablature, framing a blue background evoking the sky.
