Description
Made by Diogo de Arruda in 1510-1513, the Chapter House Window, located in the Convent of Christ (Tomar, Portugal) is ornamented by an exuberant figurative universe, filled with maritime themes - the wood, the ropes, the buoys, etc - the Order insignia - the heraldic cross, the armillary sphere, the kingdoms coat of arms - and symbolic figures associated to the mystique of the Spiritual Cavalry and to the role the Order of Christ played in the enterprise of the Discoveries.
