Der Heilige Nikolaus klagt den Konsul an

ca. 1200–1210
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 08
Dieses Fenster ist eines von zweien, die sich der Legende des Heiligen Nikolaus' annehmen. Mit einer rosafarbenen Robe und einer Mitra auf dem Kopf tritt Nikolaus vor den regionalen Konsul und erbittet die Freilassung falsch bezichtigter Ritter. Eine Palastwache wohnt dem Geschehen bei. Das Fenster stammt wahrscheinlich aus einer Sankt Nikolaus gewidmeten Nebenkapelle der Kathedrale von Soissons, deren Chor in den 1190er Jahren errichtet wurde. Die Komposition mit dem narrativen Element umrahmt von einer Arkade gehört zu den frühesten Beispielen eines Typs, der stark mit Soissons in Verbindung steht. Die klassizistischen, eleganten Figuren und die wehenden Gewänder sind typisch für das damalige Nordfrankreich.
