French, first half 13th century and later, Window with one of the Miracles of Christ. Estimation  10,000 — 15,000  GBP -  Lot. invendu. Photo Sotheby's

inscribed: ST AME.[RI]; leaded stained glass, in a later wood frame; 59.5 by 40.5cm., 23 3/8  by 16in.

Provenance: private collection, Ghent 

Note: This unusual stained glass panel is reminiscent of windows from the cathedrals at Chartres, Bourges, Sens and Laon, which date to the first third of the 13th century. Compare Christ's drapery, for example, as well as the faces with wide eyes and thick eyebrows, with figures from the window with the story of the Life of St. Andrew at Chartres (circa 1215-1235; medievalart, op. cit.). The inscription probably refers to St. Amatus (also known as St. Ame), a Benedictine monk and hermit, who founded a monastery for men and women with his convert St. Romaric. However, this inscription is unlikely to have significance for the present scene, which appears to be a later composition representing Christ.
