This finely composed stained-glass panel (1448) depicts the baptism of Saint Taurin, the first bishop of Évreux, shown receiving the sacrament from Pope Clement in Rome. The scene belongs to the church’s extensive glazing cycle dedicated to the saint’s life, combining hagiographic narrative with the rich ornamental vocabulary of late medieval Norman glass painting.

In the upper register, Pope Clement, identified by his papal tiara, leans forward to anoint the young Taurin, who stands with hands joined and a small halo marking his sanctity. Opposite the pope, a mitred bishop assists, creating a triadic composition that emphasises the ecclesiastical legitimacy of Taurin’s mission. The faces are rendered with clear contour lines and carefully modelled features, while the vestments are enriched with yellow-stain detailing and patterned borders typical of 15th-century Norman workshops.

The lower register shows the infant Taurin immersed in a large, multi-tiered baptismal font, its architectural form echoed by the canopy of miniature vaults above. The tiled pavement beneath further enhances the sense of spatial depth. The font’s sharply angled structure and the crisp folds of the attending figures’ drapery reflect the increasingly architectural character of late Gothic glass design.

Despite damage and restoration, visible in the leading and replacement pieces, the panel preserves the clarity and narrative focus of the original design. As part of the iconography of Saint-Taurin, it asserts both the apostolic origins of the local church and the divine sanction behind its foundational bishop.
