This, late 15th–early 16th century, Easter Sepulchre group depicts the moment of Christ’s entombment, a subject traditionally shown in Holy Week rituals in northern France and the Low Countries. The scene is arranged beneath a shallow architectural canopy, gathering together the key figures who, according to the Gospels, prepared Christ’s body for burial.
This window contains two significant pre-Reformation figural panels depicting St Peter (left) and St Simeon with the Christ Child (right). Both figures survive from a larger late medieval glazing scheme and were reassembled during the 19th-century restoration of the cathedral, when much of the surrounding decorative work was replaced.
