## Commentary

In the crypt vault of the cathedral of Auxerre there is an extremely rare but highly remarkable variation of the subject of Christ in Majesty. Set at the point of intersection of a cross, Christ is depicted on horseback, holding a sceptre in his right hand and raising his left hand in a gesture of blessing.
