A set of images arranged so that the arrangement itself argues something is a programme. The Last Judgement conventionally occupies the west wall. The most frequently represented scene of the Virgin's life is the Annunciation. The doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin is the Immaculate Conception.
The last blank is worth fixing firmly: the Immaculate Conception concerns Mary's own conception without original sin, not the virgin birth of Christ. Its iconography comes from Revelation 12 — sun, moon and twelve stars — and is unmistakable once known.
