Healing of the Paralyzed Man at Capernaum (one of a set of 12 scenes from The Life of Christ)
Jan Rombouts South Netherlandish (Duchy of Brabant)
One of Christ’s miracles, the healing of a paralyzed man who was unable to enter the crowded house at Capernaum and so was lowered through the roof, is told in the New Testament. To articulate the scene, stained-glass painters worked on both sides of the window. Silver stain was applied to the verso (the side on the building’s exterior) for the golden yellows, and the black and gray folds of cloth were painted on the recto, or interior side.
