Summary
[edit]DescriptionCanterbury Cathedral window n.XIV (23778480668).jpg |
This is the sixth typological window in the north Quire aisle. The upper 14 panels are in their original position the rest are bought from another window. At the top we see the ride of the Magi, pointing towards the star and Balaam stretching his hand towards the start in the middle panel. In the right-hand panel Isaiah is seen. The second row depicts Herod and the Magi, and the exodus with Pharaoh and the pillar of fire. Christ leading the heathen out of idolatry ("thus the Gentiles flee from Satan, following the, oh Christ"). The third row down depicts the adoration with the Magi, and also Solomon and the Queen of Sheba with camels, and Joseph and his brethren with bowls of coins. The next row depicts the dream of the Magi, Lot's escaped from Sodom, and Jeroboam's sacrifice. Eli receiving Samuel with three bullocks for sacrifice, the Ark containing Aaron's rod, the Tables of the Law and a pot of manna. The presentation, the virgin holds infant Christ towards the outstretched hands of Simeon. The parable of the sower, with seed being devoured by birds and falling on stony ground. (Note the complexity of the composition). Christ abandoned by the Pharisees ("seed are lacking due, having no route and parched, these are they who believe, are tempted, and thus fall back"). The church and the three sons of Noah, the church is represented as a woman holding a scroll with Shem, Ham, and Japhet each holding onto the disc of the world. The letters make up the word "MUNDUS" which is circled by text which translates as "Noah's sons ruling for me, each in his own part". The three virtuous states of life, virginity, abstinence, and marriage showing three men holding scrolls ("three seeds when leavened produce three fruits, for the espoused, the virgin, and the widowed"). The deceitfulness of riches, depicted by Julian the Apostate and Maurice Tiberius with a bowl of coins and their fur lined coats thrown on a rail above ("these thorny ones are rich and extravagant; they bear no fruit since they seek earthly things") The second scene of the parable of the sower shows seed falling on thorny ground and good ground. The final panel shows the good ground, represented by Daniel, Job and Noah. Three angels descend to crown them ("God sewed the words of the father; to these fruit was bought fourth. In the good ground to each was given a triple Crown") |
