Descriptive Note
|
Text: Probably from the cathedral at
Rouen. The legend of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus was
very popular in the Middle Ages, but the only known
extensive cycle of this story in stained glass was from
the nave of the cathedral of Rouen. This panel is stylistically
similar to a window devoted to Saint John the Evangelist
still found in the cathedral's nave, and both have a
light, bright palette of relatively unusual colors.
The Seven Sleepers were the heroes of a famous legend
that, because it affirmed the resurrection of the dead,
had a lasting popularity in all Christendom and in Islam
during the Middle Ages.
