Christ and His Disciples crossing the Brook Cedron

Panel
1534 (made)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This panel comes from window thirteen from the cloister of the Abbey of Steinfeld in Germany, dated to 1534, which showed in the main lights the present scene (on the right), Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane and the Betrayal. The last is now in the church of Warham St Mary in Norfolk. A standing figure on the right of the arch holds a scroll with faint lettering explaining the scene below. The panel is especially significant because it contains the monogram of the glazier, Gerhard Remisch (or Remsich), on the rock to the left of the Temple of Solomon.
