Saint Remigius Replenishing the Barrel of Wine

This work and another double-sided panel, Saint Agapitus of Praeneste in the Arena; (interior) The Beheading of Saint Agapitus (The Met, 71.40ab), must originally have formed the folding wings of an altarpiece. The first scene from the life of Saint Remigius (Remi), bishop of Rheims (died 553), depicts an episode in which he caused a matron’s empty barrel of wine to overflow by blessing it with the sign of the cross. That the cask indeed spills over is indicated by the dark streaks issuing from the bunghole at the top.
