Beauvais Cathedral
Chapel of the Virgin: left window

w.1


c.1245


The "Bishop Saint" window. This is often referred to as the St Martin window based on apparently little real evidence and an error interpreting one of the scenes. Michael Cothren makes a strong case for the bishop to be Constantin, a sainted bishop of Beauvais. Most of the scenes are of episcopal activities and duties.
