The Lady Chapel at Bourges Cathedral has three stained glass windows from the late 16th century that tell the stories surrounding the Life of the Virgin Mary.
Lamentation (1438-1443) over the body of Christ, is by Fra Angelico.
A common subject painted in medieval churches where scenes of the "Last Judgment" or "Doom". Often they would be painted above the chancel arch. A central figure of risen Christ with the instruments of the passion would be painted, or a crucifixion with the Virgin Mary and St John the Evangelist.
1540 stained glass in St Godard Rouen tell the story of Saint Romain (Romanus).

Between 1431 and 1438, the Florentine sculptor Luca della Robbia carved in marble one of the most radiant celebrations of music and childhood in the early Renaissance, the Cantoria, or singing gallery, originally made for the north singing gallery of Florence Cathedral.
This second sequence of sculpture on the choir screen, starting at the western end of the south ambulatory, is the work of Jehan Soulas from 1520-1535. Sculpted from the hard limestone from the Tonnerre quarry they consist of scenes from the Gospel of James, depicting the marriage of the Virgin Mary to Joseph, the annunciation, and the visitation.
