Stories from the Old Testament

Milan Duomo stained glass window V03, as the others (V02 and V03) along the southern side when entering the façade doors, recounts episodes from the Old Testament, but collects also few panels telling stories from the New Testament. It collects episodes (sometimes even fragmentary ones) coming from other large apse windows, the panels do not follow the progress of the biblical narration. Among the easily recognizable episodes stand out: Noah's Ark, Cain kills Abel, King Solomon, The sacrifice of Isaac, some events of St. Joseph's life, together with a panel depicting The descent of the Holy Spirit. The upper part of the large window shows lots of mixed panels .
