Condition notes

Comments on condition describe what is visible in the photographs. They are not professional conservation assessments.

Digitally enhanced images

Many of the ceiling figures are darkened by more than 500 years of dirt and smoke. We use digital enhancement to reveal details that are difficult to see from the floor.

Nothing is added or reconstructed.
