This stained glass window represents Saint Isidore the Ploughman.
This stained glass window represents Saint Isidore the Ploughman, an emblematic figure of rural piety. In the central medallion, Saint Isidore is represented as a bust, with a serene face, mid-length hair and a beard. He is dressed in a green and pink coat. He holds a toothed hoe on his shoulder, which is a typical attribute of the saint, symbolizing his profession as a ploughman and his attachment to the land. The medallion is decorated with gold and red, on a background of floral and geometric patterns. For the architectural frame, the glassmakers made an external frieze, alternating blue with red and gold, decorated with small flowers. In the background, the white glass engraved with interlaced patterns lets in a diffuse light.This stained glass window represents Saint Isidore the Ploughman, an emblematic figure of rural piety.
