Medieval stained glass depicting the second scene from the Parable of the Sower (Mt 13:7-8; Mk 4:7-8). Center panel in the seventh/bottom register of the Second Typological Window in the north choir aisle (n. XV, 8), dated to about 1180.
This scene is one of the most impressive treatments of landscape from the 12th century, with the sloping "good ground" and rolling hills and blue sky in the background.
This panel was originally part of Typological Window 6.
