Four exotic eastern palaces,
the backgrounds to four episodes from the life of St Bartholomew.
Fresco detail, the arched ceiling of the Chiesa di San Gottardo, Carmine Superiore.

Castles in the air
Only fifteen degrees today at 8:30am. Overcast. The feeling has changed, meteorologically speaking. Rain on the way.

The colours are quite beautiful and I only saw them to their full glory when I clicked on the image to enlarge it.

I love the photo and how the castles come out of their frames a little. My kids and I make a game of finding these playful touches that are so often incorporated into Italian frescoes.

Wonderful colours and preservation considering the age of them - over 1,000 years if my knowledge is correct.

Hi Chrysalis - the church dates from the 14th century and the frescoes from the 15th. They were restored at the turn of this century, and perhaps that's why the colours seem so vibrant...
