Nearly one thousand years old! by dulciknit

Nearly one thousand years old!

These medieval paintings adorn the Holy Sepulchre chapel of Winchester Cathedral. Those on the ceiling date from the thirteenth century. The ones on the wall were painted in the twelfth century.
I've had to adjust the levels on the shot but have tried to add as little as possible to the paintings so that they don't look more than they are in real life.
Really well done. The colour is beautifully time worn. A lovely cathedral, haven't been there for years.
