Overview: |
|
|
Direction of reading generally follows a simple left to right, bottom to top pattern, although several episodes are split across two
or even three panels. In particular, the Last Supper and Crucifixion scenes, each occupying the full width of the window, help to
emphasise the centrality of this axial window (both scenes are of course central to the institution of the Eucharist,
celebrated on the high altar directly beneath). The brightly coloured table of the Last Supper, stretching across the three panels,
is a particularly bold visual element that atracts the eye, even from the other end of the choir.
