The Sun, Moon, Earth, sign of the zodiac, and the four elements represent the entire world. Depictions of themes such as the seasons and the labours of the months symbolize the passing of time. ## Related artworks - [Rose window: April]() - [Rose window: August]() - [Rose window: December]() - [Rose window: February]() - [Rose window: January]() - [Rose window: July]() - [Rose window: March]() - [Rose window: May]() - [Rose window: November]() - [Rose window: October]() - [Rose window: September]() - [Rose window: Winds]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
