It is historically correct and only logical to paint the capitals of Vitus' pillars: in the past probably the whole church was much more colourful than it is looking today. (Many months ago we were already visiting a famous church with its still existing original paintings.) But the full colour program would certainly disturb most visitors, so it's a matter of the windows to fill that room with colour: in the background you can see a window by Daan Wildschut (1913-1995), depicting the apostles Philip and Bartholomew on the shoulders of Moses and David. Wildschut designed the clerestory windows of Vitus in 1957-1958.
