This scene of Christ’s Entry into Jerusalem forms part of the same early 14th-century glazing campaign at St Ouen, Rouen, executed during the abbacy of Jean Roussel and generally dated c. 1325–1339. It belongs to the Passion cycle that complemented the Infancy narratives, continuing the church’s sophisticated narrative programme for Holy Week and Easter.
