Another source, with representations of rainbows that have been compared with the VMs, is Christine de Pizan's work, "Book of the Knight" - otherwise known as "Epitre de Othea" or "Epistle to Hector". Here the rainbow is a vehicle for various classical deities. I also see an apparent bit of 'divine interference' in the comparative example above, but the VMs rainbows are vacant. Perhaps they are just rainbows, though a vivid, double rainbow can certainly be inspiring.
