Apsis fresco

Summary[edit]

Description
English: A group in the apsis. On a dedicated website one can read "The recently whitewashed frescoes in the apse", as part of the scene was whitewashed as a simple way of "erasing" the graffiti. I wonder if the remaining figures are those of apostles. I have the feeling the delighted graffity-vandals were pleased with this nice extra space to put their names, declaratrions of love for someone, or for their favorite football club on. The whitewashing was in the late '90's, this was taken in 2012. Increasingly one now finds fresco's behind perspex, and picture taking is much more complicated if not impossible.

These are frescoes from inside the church, there are some outside, not in this category. The church has many frescoes with scenes from the life of St. Gregory as well as from the life of Jezus, and other more "general" scenes. Many have been ruined by the vandals who decided this was a good spot to let the world they exist, are in love, love a football club and so forth. Shame on them.
