The right lancet of w.210 contains Saint Thaddeus (Jude), the apostle traditionally invoked in difficult causes. He is shown with a green mantle over ochre tunic, a palette echoing the cool–warm chromatic balance found throughout the south clerestory. Like the others, he holds a book of doctrine, presenting himself not as miracle-worker but as apostolic teacher.

Thaddeus’ features are sharply delineated, with angular jawline, pronounced cheekbones, and crisply painted beard curls, typical of early 13th-century French glass painting in the Loire region.

Iconography

In medieval cycles, Jude/Thaddeus is often shown with symbolic attributes such as a club or halberd (the instrument of his martyrdom), but in this early window he appears simply as a standing apostle, emphasising continuity and apostolic witness rather than narrative martyrdom.

Stylistic Notes

• Border composed of alternating red–blue tesserae with foliate ornaments.

• Slight lateral turn of the head, giving a sense of interaction with the central Barnabas.

• Vivid use of “chartres blue” in the background, characteristic of the Loire ateliers.
