the next miracle, the marriage at cana, takes up half the space on the left on the west wall. the composition is disrupted by a doorway and is sectioned by a column. jesus, the bridegroom and bride are seated at the feast. the table is shown covered with a white cloth and has circular loaves of bread and bowls of fruit. jesus, at the left, is holding a knife in his left hand and blesses with his right hand. as in the previous scene, jesus is depicted with nimbus and dark red hair and beard, and is dressed in a long red tunic and dark blue mantle. the bearded bridegroom, who is holding a knife in his right hand and lifts his left hand in a gesture of speech, wears a tall hat, pale green tunic with an orange lining, brown mantle, light brown hose, and red sandals. the bride, who is seated at the right, is dressed in an orange headdress, a pale green robe with wide sleeves, and raises her right hand with her palm turned outward.the remaining piece of the west wall contains a portrayal of the temptation of christ in the wilderness, and in this scene he appears twice. at the left he is shown at the moment when satan states "if thou be the son of god, command that these stones be made bread." the devil, depicted with long horns, wings, and a human body with claw feet, drops three large stones to the ground. jesus, wearing a long orange tunic and dark blue mantle, holds up his left hand with palm outward in a sign of refusal. in the following scene jesus is portrayed on a pinnacle of the temple. here the devil is shown with human feet, wings, and a bearded animal-like head with long locks. jesus is dressed as before and the temple is symbolized by a small building with circular windows and a gable roof. on the right, one of the angels who came to minister unto him speaks with a third demon, who appears to be half animal and half human. the body of the last devil is yellow and he has long hair and a pointed beard. the ugliness of the demons strike a sharp contrast to the poetic portrayal of the figure of jesus.the sequence of christ's passion starts at the north wall with christ's entrance into jerusalem. jerusalem is symbolized at the right by a structure with an open door. above are crenelated walls with windows. outside awaiting christ are two boys in red and blue tunics holding olive branches in their hands. jesus rides on the donkey side-saddle in eastern fashion, approaching from the left. he has a halo with a cross, red hair, and beard, a teal tunic and a dark blue mantle. with his right hand he blesses as he holds a palm branch in his left hand. a baby horse accompanies the donkey jesus is riding. behind him follow the apostles. we can see seven full apostles with peter, who is depicted here with white hair and a beard, leading the group. the red-headed st. john follows him.the last supper fills the rest of the north wall. jesus is seated behind a table with a white cloth in the center of the composition. many of the disciples are depicted holding knives and raising their hands as if to ask “is it me lord?” when jesus says “one of you will betray me.” we see st. john at jesus's bosom and judas in the front of the composition. the food they are eating seem to be loaves and fish with judas touching the fish in a bowl. as is customary, st. peter is featured with a white beard and balding. st. paul is also portrayed with white hair and a pointed beard, even though he was not one of the original disciples.
