medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
When I visited Saint-Austremoine d'Issoire, the neighboring curates sniffed at two things: the plaster capitals and the truly, to our eyes, garish painting of the walls. When I objected rather blandly that medieval churches were painted after all, the horrified response was "But not like that!" After all this discussion, the recreation of Amiens, etc, I'm wondering now if Issoire is an example of exactly how churches were painted. Any comments?

p.s. I'll search for a link to Issoire and send later.
