The upper two thirds of the painting of St. Eustace at Canterbury Cathedral. The painting is on a wall panel about nine feet high in the north choir—hard to see well from below, with its patchy colors in dim light (this is not a flash picture, just slightly computer-enhanced), but still strikingly detailed. The story moves from bottom to top; at the center is Eustace in the river, and at the top is the martyrdom in the brazen bull. The lower third of the painting can't be seen here but is in the next photo. [EB]
