In the panel from Saint-Ouen, in Rouen, Bartholomew administers baptism to those who have accepted his teaching, beginning with King Polémius and members of the royal household. The scene is set beneath a tall, tiered Gothic canopy whose delicate silver-yellow tracery recalls the stone vaulting of the abbey church. The richly patterned damask background, painted in deep green and soft red tones, evokes the ceremony’s dignity and situates it within a luxurious, courtly environment.
