Roundel with Daniel Slaying the Dragon 1520

This roundel, created around 1520 by the artist known as Pseudo-Ortkens, depicts the biblical story of Daniel slaying the dragon. The scene is set in front of a fortified city and shows Daniel, kneeling, offering a piece of fruit to the dragon. The roundel was likely part of a larger collection of stained glass panels, showcasing the skilled use of color and detail in this artistic tradition. This piece, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the high artistic standard of glasswork during the 16th century.
