The Life of Saint Martin of Tours

Stained-glass window V15 of Milan Duomo, located in the southern transept, was made in the last quarter of the 16th century and is dedicated to the stories from the life of Saint Martin of Tours, who lived in the 4th century AD. Inside the window the story unfolds from bottom to top, left to right, opening with Saint Martin's well-known gesture of giving part of his cloak to a poor man. The six trefoil panels instead represent the Prophets (Michelino da Besozzo, around 1420). There is also a panel depicting the Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple (in the lower register) wich is not linked to the narration of the stained glass window V15.
