Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla as depicted in a later fifteenth-century copy (ca. 1470) of the _Legenda aurea_ in its French-language version by Jean de Vignay followed by the _Festes nouvelles_ attributed to Jean Golein (Mâcon, Bibliothèque municipale, ms. 3, fol. 184v):

Two scenes of Cantius, Cantianus, and Cantianilla (their flight and that of their tutor St. Protus; their martyrdom) as depicted on the inner side of the wings of an early sixteenth-century altarpiece (ca. 1510) formerly in the church dedicated to them at Kranj and now in the Belvedere in Vienna:
