Samson slaying the Lion; Jacob's Ladder 16th century

This 16th-century stained glass panel by Jos Murer depicts two scenes from the Old Testament: Samson slaying a lion, and Jacob's Ladder. In the lower panel, Samson, a figure with a sword in his right hand, is in the process of killing a lion. The upper panel shows the biblical figure Jacob in a dream, seeing a ladder connecting heaven and earth. This stained glass piece, with its intricate details and rich colors, exemplifies the artistry of the German Renaissance. The work is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
