This painting shows the parable of the sower, reminding us that the seeds of his word are sown in everyone’s heart, but we must pray for it to grow in us and bear fruit. And also that we play a role in sowing seeds and reaping the harvest.
This Medieval window is given dynamism by the angular tilt of the figure and the landscape behind him, with the seeds flowing sinuously from his outstretched hand. The bright colors and lush vegetation have been emphasized, giving this image a feeling of health-giving beauty.
