Panel 9: Here, for the first time in the sequence, we seem to have an allegorical rather than purely Biblical figure. These allegories were first depicted in the C15th at which time colours also became paler and drawing skills improved. However, I think that this central picture could be considerably more recent, perhaps from the late C17th or early C18th as stained glass by this time was effectively translucent oil painting, which this resembles. I would suggest though, that the surrounding frame segments could be much older, as they are of a far simpler style and bolder, primary colours. Previous panel Image] Next panel Image]
