Light is also a key feature of the stained glass in the lower row of windows. The scene on the bottom half shows the Four Evangelists – Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – seated around a table with their attributes. An angel approaches them; above its wings, clouds open to reveal a heavenly golden glow that is enhanced by the natural light coming through the window.
The small organ mounted on the wall to the right of the stained glass was in reality placed on the other side of the nave of the Oude Kerk, but de Witte has included it here to make the view more interesting.
