Saint Savin Ceiling Fresco


Eglise abbatiale de Saint Savin
9th century   Saint Savin-sur-Gartempe, Vienne, France

The nave of this French church has a ceiling fresco. It appears to be a combination of holy subjects interacting with ordinary life (subjects with orbs around their heads trading with and speaking to those without).  The painting is done in a two dimensional style which is purposeful in this artwork.
