Description
Gothic; The Martin WindowDelaporte no. 24, Deremble-Manhes no. 20Panel 16: Martin investigates a venerated tombMartin went to a tomb that the local people venerate as that of a martyr, even though very little- not even the name- was known about the tomb’s inhabitant. Martin called forth the soul of the dead man- who revealed that he was just a common thief. The tomb was not venerated after this was revealed.At left is the sarcophagus, set parallel to the picture plane. In it sits a small demon-like figure that seems to be moving toward the left (fleeing from Martin?). Martin (haloed, mitred, wearing episcopal vestments) stands at center, holding a processional cross and gesturing toward the demon-like figure. At right are three other figures (clerics?), at least one of whom holds a book. In the background are stylized trees.; The Martin Window
