Image: Three good men: daniel, job, noah

Detail from the Second Typological Window at Canterbury Cathedral. The inscription originally read: "God sowed the words of the father: from these his fruit increased on the good ground threefold; his own crown was given to each." This explains the angels crowning the Old Testament heroes Daniel, Job and Noah, and connects the scene with the Sower on Thorny Ground and Good Ground in the center. This panel was originally part of Typological Window 6.
