This image depicts a tall, arched stained-glass window located within the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon (Lyon Cathedral) in Lyon, France. The window is vertically segmented into two main horizontal panels, each framed by elaborate multicolored borders featuring floral and geometric motifs in red, blue, green, and yellow hues. The upper panel illustrates the Baptism of Christ. On the right, John the Baptist, identified by his red cloak, brown tunic, and golden halo, stands on a rocky bank in a body of water, holding a staff. He extends his right arm, pouring water from a golden vessel onto the bowed head of Jesus Christ, who stands in the water to his left, clad in a white loincloth and also bearing a golden halo. An angel, draped in a purple tunic, kneels to the left of Jesus, holding a garment. Above Jesus, a white dove, representing the Holy Spirit, descends from a blue sky. Additional figures observe from the background. The lower panel is horizontally divided into two distinct scenes. The left segment portrays John the Baptist, again in a red cloak and with a halo, addressing a crowd of individuals. One man sits on the ground in the foreground, appearing distressed or bound, while other figures, some with halos, stand around. The background includes architectural elements such as arches. The right segment shows a figure in a red cloak (likely John the Baptist or a priest) performing a baptism-like act, pouring water over another figure submerged in a basin. A kneeling woman in a blue garment is prominently featured in the foreground, interacting with a standing figure in red. The background similarly features architectural structures.
