During the 1980s COBRA artist Carl Henning Pedersen (1913-2007) redecorated the apse of Ribe Cathedral with frescoes, stained glass and mosaics in a very bright modernist expressionist style.
The mosaics from left to right:
The Gate of Heaven – note the path leading from earth to heaven
The Tree of Life
Ascension of Elijah on a chariot of fire
Jacob’s Dream (ladder)
After the Flood (Noah’s ark, dove with an olive branch)
Descendants Follow (Jesus as unicorn baptized by John)
The Light of Heaven (first day of creation)
