According to: http://www.epdlp.com/cuadro.php?id=2349 the medieval picture was from 1486, as one can see in the bottom right of the picture.
The Latin means:
Libertas = Liberty/ Freedom/ Independence
Ecclesiastica = Church
I would suggest that what this painting was supposed to show was the freedom found in the light of God and the teachings of the church, and the light shining down was supposed to represent the light of God.
I would therefore conclude this painting is meaningless in regards to what happened over Norway, as it shows something completely different in both meaning and context.
