Description:
|
|
The period of Pope John VII (705-707) has the most surviving decorations; he was known for his devotion to the cult of the Virgin. The John VII decorations feature Hellenistic styles fused with earlier Roman linear styles. Although John VII's frescoes are adorned with breezy tunics, toned contours of flesh and animated expressions that individualized the saints, they are considered by archaeologists and historians to be strained in their movement. The artists posed them in conversation with quick hands and turned heads but their backs are "flat" against the background instead of turning inwards toward the conversation. This wall painting was detached from the south-east pillar, originally superimposed on an Annunciation ca. 600-650. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
