The artist's use of gold leaf and fine detailing in the garments and backgrounds further enhances the visual splendor of the panels.
These works not only serve as devotional objects but also as didactic tools, intended to educate and inspire the faithful by illustrating the virtues and trials of Saint John the Baptist. The series is a testament to the religious fervor and artistic innovation of the 14th century, offering valuable insights into the cultural and spiritual milieu of the time.
