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.
The choir stalls of the collegiate church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste at Montrésor form one of the most eloquent ensembles of Renaissance woodcarving in Touraine. They were made around 1530-1540, when Imbert de Batarnay, seigneur of Montrésor and counsellor to four French kings, endowed the new collegiate foundation he had created in 1521.

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.
This window (c1550) is a composite assemblage combining fragments of sixteenth-century narrative glass with nineteenth-century architectural framing and extensive twentieth-century restoration. The programme appears to have depicted episodes from the life of an unidentified saint. According to Jean Lafond, one of the surviving scenes may represent the translation of relics, suggesting a cycle related either to Saint Ouen or Saint Leufroy. The identification, however, remains uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the surviving iconography.
This window (c1550) illustrates episodes from the martyrdom of St Vincent of Saragossa, one of the most widely venerated deacons of the early Church. Created by a Rouen atelier in the early sixteenth century, the glass adopts the familiar layout of the Saint-Ouen narrative series: scenes arranged beneath richly architectural Gothic canopies, each panel presenting a distinct moment from the saint’s Passion.
