Life of St Austremoine

This window forms part of the late-medieval glazing cycle devoted to St Austremoine (St Austremonius), traditionally regarded as one of the missionary bishops sent from Rome to evangelise Gaul. The panels adopt the rich narrative style characteristic of Rouen workshops in the early sixteenth century, combining brightly modelled figures, deep architectural canopies, and landscape backdrops that open the narratives into broad, coherent sequences.

 

The south aisle of the nave at Saint-Ouen preserves one of the most varied yet coherent hagiographic ensembles in the church’s glazing programme. Although the windows today comprise mixtures of sixteenth-century fragments, nineteenth-century architectural refitting, and extensive twentieth-century restoration, they collectively articulate a single, sustained theme: the commemoration of exemplary saints whose lives, virtues, and martyrdoms offered models for Christian devotion.
