The Crucifixion window in the Church of Saint John the Baptist at Montrésor, in the Indre-et-Loire region of France, is one of the finest surviving examples of early sixteenth-century stained glass in the Loire Valley. Filling a tall Gothic lancet divided into several vertical lights, it unfolds as a vivid narrative of the Passion of Christ, rendered in rich Renaissance color and form.

Crucifixion fresco (1441-2) by Fra Angelico in cell 38 on the second floor of the San Marco convent.
The church at Saint Romain sur Cher was rebult in the C16 and restored in the C19. The north and south walls of the apse are painted with scenes of the Decapitation of John the Baptist and the Baptism of Christ on the north wall, and on the south wall is the Resurrection. Both of these paintings were restored in 1859.
