medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In Naples there is surviving polychromy on some window jambs in the cathedral and, if memory serves, in San Domenico Maggiore. I've tried without success to find a Web-available illustration. You could have a look to see if any specimens occur in the photographs in Caroline Bruzelius' _The Stones of Naples: Church Building in Angevin Italy, 1266-1343_ (Yale U. P., 2004).
Best,
John Dillon
