Memorial Window for the Church of all Saints, Cornard Parva in Suffolk

The three lights depict Biblical stories featuring the roles of three women. Ruth and Hannah are from the Old Testament. Mary Magdalene is from the New, and plays her part in the essential Christian story of the Resurrection.

 

The church dates mainly from the fourteenth century, and the style of the imagery refers to this. It incorporates and adapts figures from a range of late Gothic and early Renaissance paintings, and later works listed below. The earliest is by Duccio.
