The picture shows the decoration on the wall of the Lay Brothers' Choir in the Certosa.
The fresco cycle in the room, complex in its subject matter, is dominated by Old Testament scenes supplemented by small-format events from the New Testament. The sham tapestries above the choir stool present scenes devoted to specific lay brothers or the role of the lay brothers in the community. These pictures, with their scenic and figural richness and their particular charm owing to their landscape elements gave the lay brothers something to look at during their prayers that was as entertaining as it was instructive.
