This stained-glass window, created by J.P. Gaudin, illustrates the trial of Joan of Arc before the Church and the English authorities in Rouen in 1431. It depicts a tense moment as Joan, young and adorned with a halo, faces her judges in an oppressive Gothic setting. In the center, Joan of Arc, dressed in a simple tunic, stands with a halo, maintaining a dignified posture despite her apparent fragility. One of her hands is on her chest, the other reaching toward her accusers. Her feet are bound by chains. To the left, a bishop wears a golden miter; this is probably Pierre Cauchon, a pro-English prelate who presided over the trial. Before him, a kneeling scribe takes notes of the trial records. Behind Joan, religious figures and figures display stern features. To the right, an armored soldier holds a lance. The red and blue Gothic background evokes the atmosphere of the court and the Church's influence over this judgment.This stained-glass window, created by J.P.
