The saints were designed by Henry Casolani, and the upper image of Christ is attributed to Edward Poynter, although the figure is clearly modelled on the transfigured Christ by Raphael.In the context of this window, without the supporting figures of Moses and Elijah, the figure of Christ may be interpreted more generally as Christ in Glory, although it is also suggestive of the Ascension.
