Summary
A study of the 13th-century stained glass windows in Chartres Cathedral, specifically the Typological Passion of Jesus, reveals how medieval visual culture was used to perpetuate antisemitism and suppress Jewish identity. The research demonstrates that these images served as tools for historical narratives that reinforced Christian theocentrism while systematically erasing Jewish representation. By analyzing this iconography, the study provides a framework for educational exploration, enabling students and teachers to critically assess the role of visual culture in medieval antisemitism. This approach offers new insights into how religious imagery was employed to shape societal perceptions during this period.
