The Tree of Jesse Stained Glass

by Edouard Didron (1864)

This stained glass window, signed by Didron in 1864, presents Jesse lying down, similar to a felled tree, his cheek resting on his right hand in a gesture of meditation, with his eyes closed, entirely absorbed in his inner vision. As seen in Chartres or the Sainte-Chapelle, David and Solomon settle in the branches, accompanied by other kings who are ancestors of Christ.
