Created between 1145 and 1155, this particular section of the Infancy of Christ Window depicts Herod and his advisors. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this significant moment from the New Testament. The image captures the essence of medieval art with its rich symbolism and religious themes. It portrays Herod, a powerful monarch, surrounded by his trusted advisors in an opulent interior setting.
