Rochus Chapel / Window nV / Saints Louis and Francis

Rochus Chapel / Window nV / Saints Louis and Francis

Rochus Chapel / Window nV / Saints Louis and Francis

1520


A two-light, four-line window depicting Saints Louis and Francis in the upper lines. Several additions are distributed throughout the image, particularly in panel 3a.

Saint Louis of Toulouse is traditionally depicted as a youthful bishop with a mitre and pectoral staff, here without the fleurs-de-lis of the French royal house. The crown at his feet symbolizes his renunciation of the succession to the throne of Naples after entering the Franciscan Order in favor of his brother Robert of Anjou in 1296. This context explains the pairing of images of Louis and Francis. The founder of the Order appears in the Franciscan habit and is recognizable by his stigmata. Both are also depicted here as patron saints of two brothers and administrators of the estate of the chapel's founder, Conrad IV Imhoff – Louis (1466–1533) and Francis I (1475–1537). Above their heads, the year 15/20 is inscribed on two panels suspended from the arch jambs. Below, in the corners, is the coat of arms of the Imhoff and Haller/Nützel alliance.
