I was wondering if anyone had noticed 2 painted FRench churches: Notre
dame la grande in Poitiers (I don't think the interior painting was by
Viollet le Duc), and Issoire in Auvergne, where the interior statues have
been lavishly painted up? In Romania, several monastic churches have
wonderful EXTERIOR frescoes, from the l5th-l7th centuries. These must have
been somewhat refreshed since first painted, but some look original.
